I don't know. I have a fundamental lack of understanding of what is desired tempo-wise and rhythmically in these kinds of scores.

Notations like 60.75 beats to the minute and time signatures of 5/12 don't make it any clearer to me.


Get yerself a score or two, and take a look for yourself - I'm honest when I say it's not difficult music :)

And if you ever get the chance to hear Ferneyhough speak, or especially to see him in a workshop/student situation, take it. He's a minority among composers, in that he is an exceptionally good teacher, and able to adjust his speech and his comments to suit both the tutee and also the audience.
