    • @tom_4615
      @tom_4615 4 роки тому +96

      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

      Seriously is 5/8 that hard. John petrucci changes time signature 118 times in 7 minutes and he doesn’t have sheet music, not to mention he literally sweep picks half the time. Like that bartok piece is not the S-tier difficulty piece they were making it out to be

    • @patchoulicyanide
      @patchoulicyanide 3 роки тому +1

      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 3 роки тому +13

      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

    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)

      @CheesecakeJelloOnMyOrifice Рік тому +1

      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.

    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.

    Correction on the last piece: the time signature is 4/dotted quarter, which is then grouped as 16th note groupings of 5+7+5+7 where the group of 3 in each uneven grouping comes first. In other words, the actual time signature is 12/8, but the real rhythmic material is alternating 5/16 and 7/16

    Oh wow. The last piece was composed by Gyorgy Ligeti, wich is the composer of the famous Requiem for a soprano that played in 2001 a space oddisey. Wasn't expecting twoset to know much about modern/avant garde composers.
