A pianist and singer are rehearsing "Autumn Leaves" for a concert.

The pianist says:  "OK.  we'll start in G minor, then on the third bar,
modulate to B major and go into 5/4.  When we get to the bridge, modulate
back down to F# minor and alternate a 4/4 bar with a 7/4 bar.  On the last
A section go into double time and slowly modulate back to G minor."

The singer says: "Wow!  How do you expect me to do all that?"

The pianist says:  "Well, that's what you did last time."
