No, this is not break-neck speed, but a good, lively speed - a little faster than the indicated crotchet = 72. The problem is that we only hear the introductory section. If that is all he plays at weddings then the bridal couple will indeed have to make a quick sprint down the aisle, especially if the guests are to follow out before the music finishes!
Ah yes. one of the few pieces Anthony Newman actually plays well. This is from a CD called "The Wedding Album" recorded on the great Aeolian-Skinner at St. Thomas' Church, Fifth Avenue in New York City. Everything on this disc is played at break-neck speed. I guess Mr. Newman is a very busy man and can't spare much time at recording sessions. This is a must have for those brides who wish to sprint down the aisle and make a mad dash out when it's over
oh dear, not Mendelssohn.
