Beethoven's Rondo in A major
on: June 27, 2007, 02:28:40 AM
One of my student's is currently playing Beethoven's Rondo in A major for a Beethoven piano competition for young students (under 11 yrs), and I was wondering how much difference in tempo between the A major section, and the D major section would be permissable.  Playing the triplets in thirds is quite difficult for this student, and we are obviously going to have to vary the tempo...but by how much????? Any suggestions?
