Tempi
in Haydn and Beethoven music
Hi,
What's the "usual" tempi
that you play in Haydn's Quartet No. 30, Op. 74:3? And why does the
last movement sound like a tango by Piazzolla...??  
And
then I would like to know why they always print every solo in the
Beethoven quartets (Edition Peters) one octave higher that it is
supposed to be played...isn't that kind of...silly? I mean, it
doesn't exactly get any easier to read...

Notation
The treble clef up an octave thing
is actually an antiquated method of notation. The publishers are too
lazy/cheap to fix it. You see it a lot in Dvorak works as well. I've
heard that you can get "kits" with the excerpts written in modern
notation that you can fit in your music right over the old-fashioned
treble clef things, though I've yet to see one.
It really
plays with your mind, doesn't it? It wouldn't be bad if it weren't
so close to Tenor clef.

Re:

Yup! That treble clef! I read
treble, can play it at pitch with no problem but those passages
always get me- My mind says 'E' my fingers pay no attention at all
and play 'D'.
It's as though the music reading pathway is from
the eyes straight to the fingers, bypassing everything
else!

Re:

It's embarassing, but I'll usually
pencil in the note name next to some of the notes to help orient
myself.

Re:

The 8ba notation is common in
Dvorak, but I've got all three volumes of the Peters Beethoven and
the solos are all in standard notation. In fact, even some things
that could legitimately have been in treble clef are in tenor. How
old is your copy?
