Hi guys, can you tell me what metronome speed you would put on the first movement of telemann fantasia no 10 ???

thanks, angie xx

Hi Angie,
Although there were no metronomes in the earlier part of the 1700s, I have a recording that puts the tempo at about 144 to the quarter note. It could be played a bit slower but nott too much as it might make the mvt. flow less smoothly. If you do use a metronome, get the tempo from it and then turn it off for the practice.

thanks bilbo, i'll give it a go xx

I usually do it at about 132 to the quarter, Bilbo is correct, no metronomes then, so pieces were based on style more than speed

Ooh.. Lera, can you put it on your site so we can hear you play it?

Lyra,
"It all dipends on metronome I have."
Does this mean tht you have more than one metronome & that they sound at different speeds wnhen set to the same number?

Dipends BTW, I think should be spelled "depends". If I have the correct word... dipends would sound like die-pends which is no one's accent or pronunciation that I've ever known of.

I am suprised that word wasn't *** by the editer thingy on this board like a lot of other words are. I suppose it can't be because that could really be someones name. I am glad it is not mine though!

poor Telemann, how did he devolve into this?
