the still-small set
of musicians who can play a quintuplet accurately in the first place.
You can't be serious. Chopin requires them!
I understand the point he's trying to make. Accurate execution of a quintuplet
is rather tricky. Chopin may require them, but performers rarely play five
notes of equal length. But performers rarely play five notes of equal length in
5/4. Heck, we rarely play four notes of equal length in 4/4. A simple check
using hyperscribe will show any of us that.
The point, however, I don't think is absolutely accurate execution of any
rhythmic pattern. I think the point is what we hear. If we can distinguish the
written rhythm simply by hearing it. (Or at least understand the concept of the
rhythm, even if another might notate it differently).
