Hi all,
I'm currently working on the Beversdorf and had a quick question: what is your choice tempo for the second movement? I've had people tell me anywhere from 76 to 90 and heard recordings of 100 or more. Just curious.
Thanks!

Re: Beversdorf Sonata
The piano part to the Sonata is three times as difficult as the tuba part. Your accompanist will earn every penny of the payment you offer.

Re: Beversdorf Sonata
Both Alex and Bloke are absolutely correct. The piano part is difficult, making even FINDING a pianist more difficult.
