I like the speed. I think it's important this movement is this fast. I admit the intonation could be better, but I think it is a good example of a good tempo. Andrew McCafferty, piano; Matt Wootton, cello. Lancaster

  • The intonation is awful, for sure, but let's be careful about saying "it's marked MM 144" or "it should be like a waltz. Who says it's like a waltz? Who marked it 144? Not Brahms. A cellist friend of mine never plays this piece because she finds this movement so boring; but of course it's boring really slowly! And it's not challenging. Remember, this sonata originally had 4 movements.. the slow one was taken out. This is NOT a slow movement.

  • @kuropuun intonation* you mean. intonation is pitch.

  • What is internation? :(

  • What are you talking about I LOVE this movement hahah. It's not boring. It's so Brahms :) I like the way Yo yo ma interpreted it, it has a very waltzy feel to it. I'm playing it for my class and I love it :P

  • u dnt ave 2 pick out all the bad points of the cello playin, ure just jealous tht he can play 3 times better than u can!!!!!

  • the tempo flows nicely

  • One thing here is right - the tempo. The glissandi do not fit, but I guess it is rather due to insufficient control of the instrument rather than bad taste.

  • about the tempo thing, i dont really like too, especially the expressive trio part, but it is written,(MM=144) and i am supposed to play this song for my exam too.. Feeling very lost..
