Cool constantly changing meters....

Hi Michel,

I mean constantly changing meters, not irregular beats! (I chose the wrong expression.)

The 2nd movement of Mahler's 10th symphony features almost constantly changing meters, probably the first piece of music to do so (two years before Stravinsky's famous use of this in Le Sacre du Printemps ['the rite of spring']-1913 --
