the-pantsless-violinist: nashvillesymphony: A James Zimmermann, Principal Clarinet Dispatch: “The award for “Most Confusing Time Signature Ever” goes to Olivier Messiaen - this is from his piece “Un Soreire” which we’re playing this week. Luckily, we had a winds only rehearsal only yesterday so the conductor could explain how it goes - the strings are on stage doing it now, and we’re going to put it all together later today.” i.. what Um. Isn’t that just 9/8, only with the 16th note (or dotted 16th note) getting the real beat (2+2+2+3)? “Ronda a la Turk” could be written in that same time signature. Or is it actually 2,223 32nd notes per bar?
