Has anyone here ever played a song in 3 2/3 | 4? Or a song in 9 8 + 7 8?

Look at the final movement of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. (or any other part for that matter, really)

There's hell to look at.

7 8 shows up for a few bars in One Winged Angel. From my experience most weird time signatures are used to make the music seems either more or less energized (usually more). 7 8 is a shortened 4 4 bar, 9 8 a shortened 5 4 bar (or lengthened 4 4).

There's not much toughness to these bars if you spilt them into sub bars, like 4 8 +3 8 for a 7 8 bar. The hell part comes with the time signature changes to something different every other bar (or more frequently).

Erotomania starts with 5 4 + 9 8

9/8 is just 3/4 with a triplet feel. It isn't crazy at all.

5/4 is just counting 1+2 1+2+3. And 7/8 is just 1+2 1+2 1+2+3.

They're easy.

Now, I'll explain some measures from the Rite of Spring, at the beginning of the Danse Sacrale:

3/16 - 5/16 - 3/16 - 4/16 - 5/16 - 3/16

That pattern repeats here and there, and the movement basically uses those time signatures but then incorporates going into 2/16, 5/4, 3/8, 2/8.

This is a piece in "crazy time signatures" and it isn't the signature itself, but how it's playing and incorporated with the piece and how it fits with other not-so-common signatures.

Fin'

I'm playing a marimba solo with two measures of 31/32 and an entire phrase of 15/16 lol

I'd have to say riverdance, its in 14/10 and been fast, its a devil to play. Also a piece my band conductor came up with, that was like 10/8 or something like that. Sounded good but hard to play.

14/10 Doesn't exist.

Who says you can't have a 1/10th note? lol

14/10 Doesn't exist.

are you sure, because is definitely says 14/10 on the music.

are you sure, because is definitely says 14/10 on the music.

But how would it work?....... @.@?

14 beats, a 1/10th note gets the beat?

lol, maybe it's a modern piece and the composer made up a new note just for his/her purposes.

Maybe their an idiot of a composer. Or stupid. Depends if they're clueless or really think making a new note duration is groundbreaking.

Well, it is modern, some guys take of the tradition piece and dance, River Dance, but its what drag0ncl0ud said, a 1/10th note gets a beat. We're a small band that plays it and we kind of just expect it and work with it, its not like we're playing it in an orchestra and have to follow a conductor or keep an accurate time, as long as we keep together, no-one really cares in our band. And the piece still sounds good so what the problem I say.

What about Cramer? :P
