Vltava Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 First off, I'm not quite sure if this forum is appropriate for my issue, but I failed to another more suitable. Notice the pentuplets in the bass at the bottom, crossing the nontuplets and septuplets (I broke the nines up into five and four). Those are extremely tedious to count. I've tried counting the measure in a slow two, but that begets uneven note values. Advice or suggestions, anyone? By the way, the piece does vary in chords later, rather than the i and V we see here.

robinjessome Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You wrote this? ...For a human to play?! Jeez. Um... 7 against 5, in common time. :) ...I suppose you could use some sort of verbal-syllabic association - i.e. da-vid-let-ter-man for 5, and so on. But I have no idea how you'd get them both to happen at once. Isn't there a better way of writing that out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vltava Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Exactly what Chris said, but I'm still having alignment trouble. It's like Fantaisie-Impromptu or Chopin's 24th Prelude (runs), but more complex. I can play it along with the midi set at half the speed, but not at full.

Tumababa Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Just fudge 'em and don't tell the composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Dunn-Rankin Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 This piece looks like neo-Late-Romantic, which means you'll be able to take ample rubato with it. I'd say make heavy use of that and just feel the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keerakh Kal Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Exactly what Chris said, but I'm still having alignment trouble. It's like Fantaisie-Impromptu or Chopin's 24th Prelude (runs), but more complex. I can play it along with the midi set at half the speed, but not at full. If you can play it at a slower tempo, wouldn't that mean you have just a speed problem? How fast is this, anyways? Our marching band is playing 'PUSH' by Rob Smith, and it has a lot of that in it, but we split it between instruments (flutes play the sextuptlets, mellaphones play the septuplets, etc.) For pentuplets, I just think of them as 1e&a2 over and over again. THis might help, I dunno, Maybe I'm crazy. ~Kal _Wait a sec- I'm crazy? Only a freak of nature could play that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sollis Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 most musicians just fudge any complicated cross ryhtym/hemiola.. even some complicated time signatures... If your going to write it don't expect it to be performed with a high degree of accuracy.. if your happy with that .. fine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
