42.93Mini-composition exercise

Write a 20-bar piece in 5/4.

Requirements:

• E♭ minor center
• clear 3+2 groove
• one section shifting to 2+3
• one 3-beat motif repeated across barlines
• one full-bar rest
• one chord anticipation on 5&
• one bass breakdown
• final return to unmistakable 3+2
• no more than three harmonic roots

If it sounds complete, the meter—not the chord progression—has generated most of the form.
