      the REAL secret is in listening. (Well, different musical approach, here. I studied classical music (since childhood through about age 26, if not longer,) and at some point, I began learning West-African music, (which I still play, to this day.)
      I have heard parts of the rite of spring (all of it, actually,) SO many times (I used to hear this particular section and the next two constantly back then,) that those timpani hits are almost like a reflex for me (I heard the piece far far far more than I viewed the actual timpani part (I was a timpanist.) a few of those riffs "feel" like they are on different parts of the beat, than they actually are, but that's the entire point: you can re-beam and regroup ANYTHING as long as it comes out the same (and yeah, it might affect phrasing, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.)
      those 5s and those 7s, with the A naturals... listening to recordings of the piece caused my brain to "form it's own" internal 'notation,' which can supersede, even replace, the written notation. (to the degree that the written notation, which IS of course "the real thing," almost feels cumbersome:) amusing.
      I played the final section, the sacrificial dance, a few years ago with a youth orchestra as part of a program which provides music lessons to children who wouldn't otherwise have them. (it was in 2013, 100th anniversary of the piece, I think.)
      Knowing the piece so well, I found i didn't have to count that carefully, the "script" of what came next was so present in my mind's eye (ear?) that as we performed it, it felt like I was LISTENING to an orchestra and playing along with them.
      and wow, that's weird, no?
      :)
      p.s. I think I forgot to mention that I learned to "listen" to rhythmic relationships by playing West-African music. it's kind of "essential" in that context, in a way that it isn't "quite" as essential in Western Classical, but it can certainly be of USE in Western Classical, indeed many other contexts as well.
      ah, don't mind me, I'm just talking about my own experience, not everyone's.
      I ALSO forgot to mention that whatever I just said wouldn't be possible without having already heard the piece many many times, memorized it even, and I know this is not often possible if you are playing new music all the time. But sometimes you are indeed playing music for the 100th time.
      Listen away:)
      and speaking of that, as I commented on another comment higher up,
      LISTEN to those trumpets and horns at 1:40! they AREN'T TOGETHER! (they are supposed to be, as they are seconds later when the phrase repeats.)
      THEY weren't listening. (either that or the situation in the performance prevented them from listening, this does sometimes happen...)

      It's only because you do not play in it. It is not that complicated. Specifically these parts. All you have to do is combine bars. 4/4 + 5/4 = 9/4. 9/8 + 4/4 = (4.5 + 4)/4 = 8.5/4 = 17/8.
      The patterns starting at m60 in 5/4 4/4 4/4 literally is just a bar of 9/4 repeating an interval in 8ths starting on the 2nd beat. There is no complexity to it. The 11/4 is literally 11 beats.
      The 5/8 that comes after it can be be thought of as 4/8 = 2/4 + an extra half note. Once you learn to feel starting a new bar on an 8th note it becomes very easy. That is, you literally think of 5/8 as 2/4 + 1/8. Or you can think of it as 1/4 + 3/8 = 2/8 + 3/8.
      Because it is timpani rather than, say, solo work it is extremely simple. There are no scales, melodies, or chords to have to figure out and many of the parts set themselves up. You could literally write the entire thing in 4/4 and play it just fine.
      e.g., m107 the 7/4 + 3/4 = 10/4 = 8/4 + 2/4 You are literally just playing a 4 note figure over and over. You don't even have to count the 7. Just know when to come in(in this case it is on an 8th in the bar but if you are counting it all in 4/4 then it starts on a down beat in 4/4 and the pattern is 7/8(7 out of 8 eighth notes).
      Some patterns such as m144 just play through the bar so you don't even have to count the beats, just the repetitions.
      It is not impressive or amazing. Only to you because you refuse to put in the time to learn how to do it. If you did you would realize it's quite simple. Even for drums it is very basic. There are drums that play in these types of signatures actually using drum patterns that are much more complex.
      Anyways, just think of stuff in 8, when it is simple and not compound, as something in 4 with just extra or missing 8th note. Once you get over the oddness of it then it will be easy to do. Probably take an hour or two at most to figure it out.
      5/8 - Count: :: 1 & 2 & 3 & ::
      oops that is simple 6/8 ,
      :: 1 & 2 & 3 ::
      so 1 & 2 & 3 1 & 2 & 3 1 & 2 & 3
      So the last & is not counted & but 1 and must be felt as a down beat starting the new bar. It feels sort of like you are "resetting the bar" or whatever but that is *precisely* the feel of true odd time and that is all you have to get used to rather than trying to make it even and flow. It's a sort of syncopation but much harder since generally speaking the downbeat actually shifts.
      An easy way to try this is take some pattern in 4/4(say Pachelbel's Cannon in D, in this case play the roots 8ths or just make up some pattern that repeats) and then just leave off a note. This doesn't mean play one note as an quarter, it means play all notes as 8ths but since you only have 7 you will be playing in 7/8. It may sound odd to you but that is because you are not used to it. Once you do that you can leave off or add more 8th notes to get various odd signatures. If you always play the better so the start of the bar is well understood(e.g., start it with a note that isn't used anywhere and sounds like a root so you know it signifies the start). 3/8 is pretty simple too(e.g., fur Elise) which you can literally think of as 3/4 or 6/4 or 6/8 or even 12/8 or 12/4 or triplets in 2/4 or 4/4 or 12/4.
      You could try to learn to hear music in various time signatures. E.g., try counting Stravinsky in 8/8 or 3/4 all the way through.

      The Rite can bite you big time if you don’t focus.
      It’s extremely difficult to get back on track if you get off by even just a little.
      Most of the time you have to know the piece well and go by feel instead of rote counting.

      And HE only has to deal with FIVE pre-tuned notes. Imagine any one from the rest of the orchestra - same time sigs, with all the range and options of a violin, oboe or trombone... 😕

    In the first excerpt, actually I think the composer intended you to use 4 drums - even though you only had three pitches written the score. He writes for "a pair of low drums and a pair of hi drums and a piccolo drum" so I think he intended that the C on the higher stave is a small drum and the C on the lower stave is a larger drum. But whether that makes any significant difference to the overall sound I do not know. I think there are some things he writes in this piece which don't really make much difference to the sound...

    • @gerbs139
