    • @tom_4615

      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.

      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

    • @VictorIbelles
      @VictorIbelles 3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    • @patchoulicyanide
      @patchoulicyanide 3 ปีที่แล้ว +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 ปีที่แล้ว +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

    • @VictorIbelles
      @VictorIbelles 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

      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.

    Looking at all these weirdass time signatures reminds me that I need to start learning that new piece my teacher assigned to me.. THAT HAS NO TIME SIGNATURE
    It's Le Merle Noir by Messiaen, if anyone's wondering

      @@alexjustalexyt1144 assign a pulse for yourself and go, my friend. Cadenzas mostly do not present neither pulse and time signature, preety free shit. I think it's cool, gives the player some freedom to be a even more a part of the song shaper.

      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

    2:38 There was ZERO reason to write that in 32nds. You could have easily written that in 3/4 and get the same result. Telemann was taking the piss.

    • @rejedy

      It was meant to be joke as the Liliputsche are small or tiny, therefore Telemann used it as a joke to use 3/32 time signature and that makes sense.
