Unless you happen to be listening to Carter, Cowell, Ferneyhough, Johnston, Nancarrow, or anyone who has ever happened to use a quintuplet (Chopin, Elvin Jones, maybe Al Pacino in "Heat")</blockquote></div></blockquote>
<div><br></div></div>This reminds me, I was just reading The Negative Dialectics of Poodle
Play by Ben Watson, and he quotes an interview with Frank Zappa about
his favorite records:<br>
<br>
"'Can I Come Over Tonight' – The Velours. Any musicologist that can
find that record and listen to the bass singer ... he's singing
quintuplets and septulets. And considering where it came from and when
it was made (it was on the East Coast Onyx label) it was amazing."<br>
