Question 5,7,9,11+

Hello performers of all instruments,

Hmmm, first I have problems with my english, so let me define some words:
- Triplets (Three tied notes valuing 2 "ordinary")
- 5lets (5 tied notes valuing 4 "ordinary")
- Etc.


So!
When you have 5lets, 7lets, xlets to play...do you have play them of equal value?
I believe you have to for 5lets... and not for 7lets and shorter but... what notes should be shorter,? Is it up to performer? Will I get stroke by Composer's God if I don't do them straight???

What's your opinion?

Once you get to the higher numbers, it's probably a lot more important that they flow well than to have a high degree of rhythmic precision. The listener's ear isn't really going to be able to tell the difference if septuplets aren't perfectly even.

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!


Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.
