Author: Ashley

whats an appropriate tempo for the 3rd movement of the 3rd movement of the Mozart concerto? I'm at about 60 right now (I know I need to speed it up - a lot). whats the ideal tempo??

rather, I'm at about 60 on the hardest runs - I can play most of it at about 80.

I usually play it at about 80 or so, i've heard it anywhere from 76-88ish.

Play the second mvt at MM=88, eighth note getting the beat. Then continue the third at the same MM=88 in 6/8 time, as marked. Sometimes, I hit MM=92, but never faster. Keep practicing the hard parts slowly at first until you can gradually speed them up to the accepted tempo--you"ll get it!!!!! Good clarineting!!!

I think 88 is standard. I'd advise you to play the whole thing at one tempo- where you can play the runs. Changing speeds a lot isn't good. And it doesn't all have to be tongued- I play the majority of the runs slurred. If you're tonguing everything, that'll really slow you down (unless you're really good at tonguing!).

I don't agree with the hard coded MM=88. This is Mozart concerto, the manuscript was lost so we don't even know if we have all the notes right, forget about tempo.

It's a scherzo (a dance), so should be at a rather fast but not fast tempo (as K said anywhere between 76 and 92). It is very important that you stay very steady as the orchestra goes often gives the pulse with 8th notes.

Listen to recordings (R. Marcellus, H. Wright, D. Shifrin, S. Meyer, K. Leister) and find a comfortable tempo to your ear and technical abilities.

I like 76. it doesn't sound rushed then. It's nice but at the same time boucy.
