Move/dance in seven time? How many legs do they have? bloody clever trick
if you can do it IMO. Do any of you know 'Serenade' (op22) by Derek
Bougeois? He wrote it for his own wedding, the bride having specified
that she wanted 'something that nobody can march to and won't make my
mother cry'. It's in 11/8 with a 13/8 middle section!
