RE: TTT: Odd times

When I was in high school, my friend and I were given a flute/clarinet duet to play for our state contest that was 7/4 every other measure and 6/4 the others. Very weird and counting just didn't work. A real challenge and hard work learning it, but we did it and the judge in the contest gave us the highest rating.
Could I play it now? I doubt it, and I don't think I'd want to put in the work to be able to play it again anyway.

I played something in 13 at a folk workshop. It can feel natural after a while, but it's not common in our musical culture. Sounds like you did well.
That was a long time ago and I always wondered if the judge had pity on us due to the difficulty of the time signature.
