I can't recall the name of the famous conductor or which orchestra it was, but they were in the process of rehearsing a piece that was in 5/4. All the musicians seemed to be having difficulty with the rhythm, even the conductor. Finally, the conductor got things together and the rehearsal smoothed out. Someone noticed that as the conductor waved his baton, he was muttering something over and over. The "someone" in question tip-toed up behind the conductor to hear what he was muttering. It turned out to be "Rimsky-Korsakov,Rimsky-Korsakov, Rimsky-Korsakov....." Yup. 5/4.

"Christopher Parkening" is 6/8.
