Yes, Telemann was quite humourous in writing this suite. You see, Gulliver takes four voyages: to Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, etc., and the Country of the Houyhnhnms. I will describe the reasoning behind the first two: The Lilliputians are a people who are only 6 inches tall, thus, Telemann thought it fitting to write a very short movement (movement II), in an unusual (for its time especially) time signature. In this case, 3/32. The Brobdingnags are a people who are sixty feet tall, so Telemann thought (again) it would be appropriate to write a longer movement (movement III) that was in a "large" time signature: 24/1 (this is unusual even by today's standards).

What on earth is that time signature? I'm familiar with quarter time(3/4, 5/4, etc.), eighth time(3/8, 5/8, etc.) sixteenth, thirty-second, sixty-fourth, etc. However, I have no idea what 3 2/2 /4 time signature means. Can you explain this?
glurf gleek I don't know what this guy is talking about. It may have been a typo (?). Unless he is referring to a work in an extremely strange time signature.
+glurf gleek Not sure if this guy was just wording it weird or if you still care because I just realized how long ago you commented this, but it's 3/32.
+William Ford I think he was referring to the Intrada movement (see the Wikipedia entry on "List of musical works with unusual time signature"). Whatever that means is still unclear though!
Telemann 1728, 40; Zohn 2004, 247: "The ‘Reverie der Laputier, nebst ihren Aufweckern’ . . . teases the reader with a nonsensical time signature, 32/2/4, in an apparent allusion to the Laputians’ love for, and incompetence in, mathematics." Dietz Degan, the editor of Telemann 1970, transcribes this piece simply in 2/2 - wikipedia

This is truly fantastic. I feel fancy...
