  • I do understand that most people tend to play this piece really fast and yes it does gives it a sort of ferocity. I do think it's easier to play fast in a violin than in a mandolin, but that's a whole different subject. I must be honest, if I had played this piece much faster I probably wouldn't have played half of the notes that were on the sheet. I do appreciate your opinion/ suggestion. Thanks

    I have no credentials. I am too young to go to college, I am just an amateur cellist/violist/violinist who is an aspiring composer of the baroque style. And while yes, this is a very commonly accepted tempo, I still dislike it. I'm spoiled by hearing the very few performances of this piece played much faster. At this tempo, it doesn't have the same ferocity that others do. It's all just an opinion, and this is mine.

  • @Samoriah I'm curious as to your credentials. I have a degree in music from a good school, and that's where my definition of baroque tempos comes from - there is no better teacher than application. I spent a semester doing a study on baroque history, style and ornamentation. Anyway, it's the approximate tempo that many of the masters take in their recordings and the tempo that is taught in the Suzuki Method, if you want citations.

  • @flutinkat

    Where is this definition on correct baroque tempos? I have heard from many sources that baroque pieces are meant to be played faster than modern pieces. I have also heard that many baroque pieces are meant to be played slower than modern pieces. At this point, I have no reason to believe either one is true, and I just accept that tempo is a matter of interpretation, and I disagree with this one as I am used to much quicker.

  • @Samoriah Actually, that's a very respectable tempo for a baroque concerto.

  • Where's your buddy? You need the second mando/violin. I really like playing this piece. Sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

  • Too slow.

  • Unbelievable!! 2 dislikes!! stupid morons...this allegro was done very nicely

  • Excellent. Master Vivaldi would approve
