Rondo Alla Polacca

This is the title of the last movement of Beethoven's triple concerto.
I just heard and set the metronome to it to see what it would be. It was
a quarter@-----.

This was in Beethoven's time and also Baermann's time.

I think that the last movement of Weber's concerto #2 should be played
at that tempo.
At the very end it could be speeded up a bit to give a bravura effect.
