Any suggestions for the most famous tune in 5/4 time?

Isn't the second movement from Tchaik's 6th in 5/4 but sounding like a waltz? I guess that's the most familiar...Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post"...the isle is full of noises,

Yes it is. The Tchaikovsky movement was also the first 'odd time" piece to become well known, a real curiosity that spawned imitators (Elgar wrote an aria in 7/4 in Caractacus, for instance). I think it's so good because Peter Ilyich varies the stress, almost bar-by-bar, between 3-2 and 2-3 - something that most other 5/4 movements that I've encountered don't do.Originally posted by Caliban View Post
Perhaps the next-best known 5/4 movement is an earlier one, the second movement of Borodin's reconstructed Third Symphony.*
Du-oh!
This isn't right. It must be Take Five!

A hint: most people think of it as being in 3/4 time.Comment

... doesn't one of the movements of Pictures at an Exhibition have a rare time signature?
EDIT - the Promenade : wiki says - Meter: originally 11/4. Published editions alternate 5/4 and 6/4.Comment
