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!

125 is ok if you want to stay at your current level. If you want to become better and better, increase the metronome tempo.
