I'm just curious, but have you ever found any techniques for dealing with sections of rythmical challenge-that also include odd time signatures? For example, I was sight reading through a piece today, the time signature shifts from:
4/2
3/2
3/8
4/4
1/8
4/5 over 4
18/8
19.5 over 8
and 70. 5 over 8
It's well nigh impossible to keep track of everything, especially considering there are 5X6 and 7X10 rythms spread over three staves to keep track of. How the heck am I supposed to play this? Any tricks for dealing with rythmical problems will be most appreciated, lol.

What piece IS that??
-
Violette Sonata 3

Alot of Coplands works involve alot of counting skills ...
Some piano Duo's come to mind like his famous Hoe Down... and Danzas Cubano.... I hate these pieces because of the time signature.. (that changes pretty much EVERY measure of the piece)

I know-exactly what I mean!
How did you deal with it?

Bartok usually has something like 5+3 over 8, etc. But, it never really matters to me. I usually listen to a recording to get an idea of what it sounds like. I rely more on the actual rythm of the piece than the time signatures, although sometimes pieces need a careful analysis of one. Do you have the piece in digital format? I'm curious to see it myself...

I'm afraid it's not in a digital format-I'm not aware of any pdf's. I could try to scan a page onto my computer, but I doubt it would show well.
