      Me: *plays first three beats then stops*
      Teacher: Why'd you stop?
      Me: I'm trying to figure out how much of this next beat goes in the first bar, but nothing I come up with seems rational.

      Okay so Ive done it to 2 dp
      I think...
      If you think how 3.5/4 is the same as 7/8, you realise that you need to times 3.14 by X To get a whole number
      The smallest X could be is 50
      3.14×50 is 157
      157 is prime so X can not be lower than 50
      therefore Pi/4 is the same as 157/200
      So a quintuplet is a 20th note so I think that that must mean a 50-tuplet is a 200th note
      So in the time signature pi/4 (to 2 dp) you'd play 3 groups of 50-tuplets and 1 group where you play the first 7 beats of a 50-tuplet
      However, you wouldn't have to play all 50 notes inside the 50-tuplet, you'd only play like 20 notes and then you could come up with some really cool rhythms
      Please can you like my comment because this took a lot of brain power

      @@tom_4615 This is beautiful. Of course you get different numbers based on how many significant figures you use. If we use 3.141 we would play 3 sets of 200 tuplets and the first 185 notes of a 200 tuplet.

    You call these time signatures hard? *laughs/cries in percussion*
    Okay but what actually is the purpose of that 3/32 time signature? The only time those time signatures make any sense is in pieces where the time signature changes constantly. Otherwise the composer is just trying to be edgy and making their piece look complex and innovative, when in reality it's just in 3/4 with extra lines.

      I mean, that's /exactly/ the purpose of the 3/32 time signature. The movements of Telemann's Gulliver Suite is based off of the four nations in Gulliver's Travels: The Lilliputian Chaconne is in 3/32 but is exactly like 3/4, and the Brobdingnagian Gigue is in 24/1 but is exactly like 12/8. (The Laputa Reverie is even more annoying, being in 3²⁄₂/4 aka 4/4)

      Just chill, okay? It's nothing more than an alternation between long and short beats - made of two or three units (in this case, two or three 16th-notes), it's not that complicated. Compared to something like Ferneyhough's Fanfare for Klaus Huber or Ades's Traced Overhead, it's actually manageable - one just has to know how to count to 2 and 3, alternately :)

      It's basically just 24/16. What the creators of this music mean by having a mathematical addition problem as the numerator is that they want you to play the time signature as number of notes in a specific way. Like 3+2/4, it's 5/4 but they (the creator of the music), want you to play the time signature like 3 quarter notes then 2 quarter notes instead of 5 at once. Real easy to understand. And in this case 3+2/16+3+2+2/16+3+2/16+3+2+2//16 as 3 16th notes then 2 16 notes than 3 16th notes then 2 16 notes then 2 16th notes, etc. I hope this all makes sense but I am still a good so.

      Victor Ibelles Mx that actually makes a fuck ton of sense. The level of effort it would take to learn let alone write dance of eternity is probably more than any sight reading ever. I guess the process of learning and writing in rock music is equivalent to sight reading in classical!

    • @VictorIbelles
      @VictorIbelles 4 года назад +14

      Simon Balbus-Holmquist learning music is the same, because your muscle memory is doing the job, when Petrucci plays his odd time signatures he’s not thinking and counting , his muscle memory is doing everything, if a classical musician learns music even if it is trough sheet music he is developing muscle memory too... so it’s the same
      The problem with sight reading is that you don’t have any muscle memory for what you are about to play, so you have to think and count and prepare yourself for the next measure at the same time your playing something
      Now for sight reading vs writing... I would say it’s harder to write actually

      Yes, there is also a “percussion clef” although instruments will usually be denoted with text since most pieces notate their drums with different “legends” if you will.

    If there is one thing I have learned about people who compose for violin. Is that they are so bored with all the normal music, and because they all want to show off, they need to come up with crazier and stranger pieces. Music that gets closer to technical music. Music for the musicians.
    Violinists are the jugglers of the music world. All the basic things have been done to death, so they need to come up with stranger and stranger music in order to stand out.
    And whats the funny bit? The basic consumer of this music doesn't really care about that stuff.

      @zachguo6372 4 года назад +6

      Oliver Melo no that’s not how it works with Messiaen. There are measures and time signatures but he just chooses to not write down the time signature changes because they are so frequent. The amount of beats in a measure is often fluid, but in the case of le Merle noir and Messiaens other pieces, the length of the beat is always the same. This way Messiaen can take advantage of some techniques that he uses from Hindu music involving “added” values which if he had to apply a time signature, it would be unnecessarily confusing for the performer

    9:30 that is similar to the time signatures for the new piece that I'm learning (just over 8 instead of 16). It was originally written for a vocal soloist, but rearranged for a japanese koto (my ensemble) and guitar ensemble by the composer. I have no idea how to practice that piece or even what it's going to sound like. X'D

      I can't decide if that's really clever or really sick. But, hey, good one.

    just got a piece of music that starts in 4/4, goes to 3/4, next measure its 2/4, then we get to 7/8 for two(?) measures, and then (this is the best part) we got 9/8!!!!
    oh wait sorry there's more. after that we have 12/8, and then 3/4 again!!! 4/4 comes after that, then we stick to 2/4 for a while, then we're back to 3/4.

    Speaking of time signatures, one of the most famous classical pieces with an unusual time signature is the promnade from Mussorgsky's pictures at an exhibition. It's in 11/4. I've never noticed that.

    I had a weird idea and I have to share it with you
    It's a video idea
    The kpop group Pentagon brought out a somg called Dr Bebe
    And unless I am completely tripping theres a metronome in the music video
    But it's different speed than the song I think (but I'm dumb so idfk dont mind me xD)
    Anyway
    Maybe you could guess the bpm
    Of the song and the metronome
    I have no clue if it's even possible but it's my first ever idea and I'm proud of it even if it doesnt work xD

    I'm pretty sure the reason that the Gulliver Sonata Lilliputsche Chaconne was in 3/32 is because in the classic novel "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift, Gulliver is washed up in a land with humans who are only 6 inches tall called "Lilliputians," and the time signature is a reference to the subject of the piece, the tiny Lilliputians.
