Yes, the Norgard is in two tempos the proportion 7:5 -- I'd like to hear that sometime.

And the Malipiero is in one movement (tempo) in the proportion 1:1.  Roll Eyes

Now you need a few others. The Koltai is more obscure than I thought, but not because it's an obscure film.

That is quite a nice piece IMO but it plays to the gallery a bit in comparison with some of his more "serious" pieces like the 4th and 5th symphonies. It sounds more like a vaguely jazzy piano concerto than the abstraction the title might suggest. I've been getting very interested in the 5th of late, it's a rather mysterious and complex thing.

Whilst Vincenzo Galilei, father of Galileo, seems to have been the first to have worked out the division ratios for octaves.

I was wondering if the Galilei was his Fuga a l'unisono dopo sei tempi described as a canonic duet at a separation of 6 measures, for lutes at the same pitch.

That would fit the pattern that Turf seems to be accepting, IGI.

And the Lars Erik Larsson would be his wind quintet, Quattro tempi, Op.55. I've even got it on CD somewhere.

And it seems Paisiello wrote a Sinfonia in tre tempi... three movements of sprightly but rather unremarkable and short-winded ideas, though with moments of charm, such as the brief beam of oboe and horn colour just before the recapitulation in the first movement.

So the Koltai film must be Megall az ido (Time Stands Still), because there's no tempo...

Of course! I was just going to suggest any of his films and describe it as a timeless classic...  Wink

All is correct so far, but the Koltai I had in mind is more literally fitting.

When a certain film of his appeared in Italy, it had a title very different from its original version.

That was the Italian title for Evening!

[Insert champagne here]

Vincenzo Galilei is one of the most interesting composers/theorists of his time. Sort of an intellectual advocate for the more daring dissonance handling of the seconda prattica.
