Tempi for Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos, K448? Also, scales per Bernhard?

on: May 13, 2005, 06:31:24 PM

Where can I find some suggested tempi for this sonata? I played it at my lesson last night and it seemed (almost) impossibly fast. I'd like to make sure I'm practicing it up to speed.

Also: In reading about Bernhard's practice method, I noticed that he mentioned to practice the scales that match your pieces. Should I play them (say) 4-5 times each? Right now mm=125 is comfortable for me; should I push the metronome higher each day?

Thanks guys!
