 Re: Need advice on cueing in chamber music playing

After thinking it over, I prefer two beats to one, at least where you're not restarting in an agreed tempo. Almost all conductors give a double upbeat to start a movement.

A war story about what can happen, similar to Bob Phillips's experience. I was at Josef Marx's apartment (where he held Saturday night musicales), playing the Telemann Recorder Concerto in C. The finale goes at a furious tempo -- 16ths at around 132 -- but I kicked it off with one upbeat at 160. After a couple of minutes, Josef came rushing with a fire extinguisher. Everyone fell on the floor in laughter, and I recommenced at a saner tempo.

To hear what it was like, listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InYLmaIpwEg.
