I have an almost 20 year old metronome called Dr Beat. It's about the size of a present day iBook (well, almost!) One of the innovative features when I bought it was the "tap" function, whereby one can tap units of time and the metronome gives the equivalent m.m. readings. I've tried tapping along with various recordings of classical music (including the Mozart concerto) and the most striking thing is how tempi change from bar to bar. Even the Mozart recording by such an esteemed soloist as Sabine Meyer can have tempo variations of 18 m.m. in one movement.

I personally think that this is a good thing and gives classical music life.

But for the original question- which bar would you like a metronome mark for? :-)
