Chopin, Metronome Marks, Tempo ResearchBeethoven’s 5th: Do we still hear his Message Today?
Beethoven, Metronome Marks, Robert SchumannBeethoven’s fifth symphony is probably the world’s most well-known classical music piece. But are we indeed familiar with the original version? Do we still play his famous symphony today in correlation with the notation Beethoven used? Let’s see if we can reconstruct the master’s intentions here. You may be surprised of the outcome!
Beethoven’s “Broken” Metronome: Solving the Hammerklavier’s Mysterious 138
Beethoven, Metronome Marks, Tempo ResearchSchumann’s “incomprehensible lack” of tempo judgment
Metronome Marks, Robert Schumann, Tempo ResearchFamous pianist Godowski wrote in his 1915 edition of Schumann’s Kinderscenen that Schumann had “an incomprehensible lack of judgment in deciding the speed of every number”. In other words: a great composer, but a musical ignorant…? We may not say or write these kind of things anymore but… we still act in our performances accordingly, not paying attention to Schumann’s carefully given metronome numbers.
Let’s dive into this fascinating subject together and, really first time here on the channel, I’ll demonstrate some pieces on my 1866 Erard piano.
