What do you think about this notation regarding the time. It was an exercise. I wrote quarter note = 73, which was the timing I worked with. The teacher made this correction. Since the 7/8 line goes 1.43 faster than the 5/4 lines (which are the same but one with note duration 50%), 5/4 must have the indication eight = 156 (73 x 2), and 7/8 must have 223 (156x1.43). Interesting. In old works of this type (Renaissance, see Le ray su soleil as example from 1:45; also the Misa Prolatiunum by Ockeghem) the notation is different, keeping the same time measure.

I'd like to go on with this, not sure... It has no clear melody, no clear rhythm, no conventional progression... Is it a bit impressionistic? Perhaps followed by a less turbulent section,...

Polyrhythm: a hard word for me, to write. When I see it with my spanish eyes, it seems it hasn't any vowels ("y" is a consonant for us). Anyway, an interesting concept. Polyrhythm is not a XX century issue. Mozart used it in Don Giovanni mixing several dances in 3/4, 2/4, 3/8 and 4/4: (How can I make you tube windows smaller?) Mixing meters creates interesting effects that can't be done using the same meter. The piano is fine to show this. I wrote some pieces exploring it. In the previous platform of the forum I uploades one of them. Now I bring them together. Polyrhythm in each piece is written this way: 5/4 + 7/8 5/8 + 2/4 7/8+5/4 6/8 + 2/4
