 Re: Weber: and underrated composer?

brycon: Thank you for your erudite comments. I wasn't aware of the Charles Rosen book you mentioned. I've read "the Classical Style" though. Actually, Weber influenced Beethoven more than the latter influenced Weber. Parts of Beethoven's 4th symphony sound a lot like Weber. I seem to recall Weber didn't appreciate Beethoven, whose music was too daring for him. I agree that virtuosity has its place, and even "showing off" has always been a part of music-making and not necessarily reprehensible. On the other hand, there are many dances in Weber and if you take them too fast, they lose their "grazioso" dance-like character. PS: by "tempo markings" I meant the usual Italian indications of tempo; not metrononome markings. As far as I know, Weber didn't indicate metronome markings: the metronome was a very new invention in his day.
