Q: This piece also has several septuplets and pentuplets and all that kind of stuff... In general, what are some good ways to figure out how to hear/play this kind of timing? I can conceptualize it, and I think I understand how it works. But the challenge is like, okay, so how do I actually play 7 equally spaced hits over the span of 2 beats, or whatever?
A: you could think of it as 4 sixteenth notes and 3 triplets, but slow it down a little bit so the middle click is halfway in between your 4th and 5th note
