REHEARSAL NOTES:
I must stress that the following tempos are still work in progress but will mostly close enough for you all to get an idea of my speeds. There will of course be much freedom applied at different sections but I plan to be very clear at each stage of the work so it should be a doddle by the time it reaches the stage.
STRAUSS
· Opening crotchet = 52
· Allegro molto agitato crotchet = 132 bearing in mind the stretching in the cello and bass line (clarinets oboes and flutes take note, slight delay at the bar line)this stretching stops at the a tempo after E where we move on to
· Letter F Minim = 76 (alla breve Beat in 2)
· Letter k minim = 80
· Letter L minim = 69
· Meno mosso, ma sempre alla breve minim = 54
· Un poco agitato (fifth after N crotchet = 132)
· Etwas breiter crotchet = 116 – 120
