Patience's the best teacher, and time the best critic. Denver, Colorado, USA. Gabe Racz. Originally posted by Akira: Thanks, Bruce. Haverhill, Massachusetts. John Citron. There are some excellent thoughts on this subject here especially from Bruce who summarized a lot of what I was going to say. I have noticed that our perception of the tempi has been molded by the music editors from the 19th century. During the early part of that century, the pianoforte became a standard fixture in many houses in Europe, and it was no longer just an instrument for professional musicians and the very well to do.
With the education of the masses, and the increased use of the pianoforte in the household, the music editors and publishers needed a better way to communicate what the different tempo indications meant. The metronome helped with this as they could put a number on something that was very esoteric and is open to interpretation. Allegro, for example can mean happy, and not necessarily fast. So to catagorize Allegro as xxx on the metronome became standard practice so everyone would play an Allegro quickly and consistently.
I have found this to be true with a lot of music from various composers including Scarlatti, Mozart, Beethoven and others. What was indicated by the metronome markings as being really fast made the Scarlatti sonatas difficult to follow musically. The overall speed blurred out much of the dialog between the voices that is so common in Scarlatti's works. The harpsichord, we have to remember, can't be played as quickly as the pianoforte because of the nature of the action.
There is little escapement if you could call it that with the action, and the playing technique requires very precise lifting of the fingers to allow the jacks to drop back into place.
When the music is played too fast on the harpsichord, the sound is more like a noise box than music. Much of the beauty in Mozart's music is lost as well as performers focus on the tempo rather than the music its self. He does a lot of "talking" between the voices and uses the timbre of the instruments to make his melodies sing. The same with Beethoven and others. There are other things too that can affect tempo in a piece.
As modern pianists, we have to contend with heavier actions Here he goes again I can hear you saying. The lighter instruments could be played a lot faster as the action was lighter with a much shallower key depth.
The overall volume can greatly affect the speed of a piece. If the instrument is too loud then playing fast can make the music noisy as the notes blur together in one jumbled confusing mess. I was told by a longtime piano teacher that the tempos between the movements are in relation to each other, and as performers we need to keep that relationship together as a whole. So the Allegro maybe a quick movement, the middle movement maybe slow a slow Largo, and finally the finale could be a faster Allegro movement again.
She went on to say to choose a tempo that you can handle accurately and musically rather than trying to match what others have done, or to what has been indicated on the metronome. Current works in progress: Beethoven Sonata Op.

JohnFrank : I can't agree with such arbitrary designations for the speed of given tempo indications, because your chart fails to take into account the unit of measurement.
While we may not get total agreement on the finer shades of tempos suggested by Schnabel, I do find that his edition of the Beethoven Sonatas illustrative of the point I tried to make above. While some of his metronome suggestions fall right in line with your chart, there are many that illustrate clearly that making such a chart is arbitrary and often makes no musical sense.
Would you really want to try to play this at between ? At your recommended , this movement would be absolutely static. Chopin gave metronome markings for the first eight of his Nocturnes, through to Op 27 No 2. I couldn't imagine it being played at between 81 and The point I'm trying to make in this exercise is to insist that one can't arbitrarily assign a bpm number to a tempo designation 1 without knowing what the unit of measurement is - given by the time signature, 2 without having some context for the music.
Bruce, what would you suggest to the person who is simply looking at the music, knows the time signature, but has no context for the music.

How would you suggest determining the tempo using only the tempo marking e.
Most of these words are Italian, because many of the most important composers of the 17th century were Italian, and this period was when tempo indications were first used extensively and codified.
Before the metronome, words were the only way to describe the tempo of a composition. For example, presto and allegro both indicate a speedy execution presto being faster , but allegro also connotes joy from its original meaning in Italian. Additional Italian words also indicate a specific mood that adds to the interpretation. For example, a marking of Allegro agitato has both a tempo indication faster than a usual Allegro and a mood indication agitated.
Although Italian has been the prevalent language for tempo markings throughout most of classical music history, many composers have naturally written tempo indications in their own language—most notably, French, German, and English.
