I posted this comment on an older video on your channel ("How Fast did Mozart and Beethoven Really Play" from 2017) - but wanted to post it here as well since this is about essentially the same topic of interpreting metronome marking speeds . . . As a professor of acoustics (Ph.D. in Acoustics, 1995 and B.Mus. piano performance, 1988) this actually makes a lot of sense to me. A similar confusion of a "doubling" or "halving" of frequency shows up in a lot of old acoustics texts as well. The modern unit for frequency (the number of complete oscillations in one second) is the Hertz (Hz). An oscillation or vibration of 1 Hz means that there is one complete oscillation (one complete back and forth round trip) occurring within in a time of one second. The frequency corresponding to middle C on a modern piano is close to 256 Hz which means that the middle C string undergoes a complete vibration (back and forth, round trip) 256 times each second. However, long before the 1960's when the modern unit of Hertz (Hz) was adopted as the standard unit of frequency there was quite a bit of variation in the units used to describe frequency. In the 19th century, the French tradition referred to frequency as a "vibration single" (v.s.) a method of counting based on a seconds pendulum which ticks once going forward and once returning -- two ticks per second. This is just like a metronome that makes two ticks -- one tick as the bob moves to the right and a second tick as the bob returns to the left. However, the French also used the term "vibration double" (v.d.) -- similar to the counting method use by German and English scientists -- which only counted one tick per second so that 1 v.d. is twice as long as 1 v.s. This shows up on the tuning forks manufactured by Rudolph Koenig in the late 1880's. Koenig's forks were labeled with the "v.s." system, so that his tuning fork for "middle c" was marked 512 v.s. which is the same as 256 v.d. or 256 Hz. So, if you picked up a Koenig tuning fork marked 512, it actually represents a frequency half that value. According to what you discuss your videos, it would appear that Beethoven, Czerny, and Chopin used a similar "vibration single" method of counting that included one tick as the metronome moves right and a second tick as the metronome moves back left -- two ticks for one complete cycle. So, the problem of interpretation is determining whether a metronome marking of one half note = 108 means (a) one half note for each "tick" of the metronome set to 108, interpreting the number as a "vibration double" (one tick per complete cycle) -- which should be ridiculously fast, or (b) one half note for every two ticks of the metronome set to 108, interpreting the number as a "vibration single" (two ticks per complete cycle) which is much more manageable.

His Op. 53 especially in the "ostinato" section, and his "Military" when played in proper tempo reminds one of a great military march. Remember that the Polonaise is a DANCE, and upon watching this DANCE, it is illogical that any performer (interpreter) should play faster because the poor Polish aristocracy would have been break dancing for crying out loud! We didn't have DJs; we had players. Keeping lots of this stuff in mind helps to recreate traditions that were once upon a time. Another fantastisch video, Wim!

This is fascinating, as usual, Wim. I'm not going to argue about the change of fashion in piano performance around the middle of the 19th century, but I don't think that had anything to do with Chopin playing relatively few concerts. He didn't play many public concerts when he was younger, either. He really hated it and avoided it as much as possible. In some of his earlier public appearances, when he was around 20 and playing with orchestras, people complained that he played too quietly, and that was discouraging as well. He gave up on his original idea of being a typical traveling virtuoso, and concentrated on teaching and composing. His playing was generally very well received in more intimate settings, and he was much more comfortable that way. He did give a major concert in Paris in 1848, the last one of his life, and that was well attended.

I'm so glad I've come across your channel...I find your videos very interesting, and I spent much time in my university years (I still do) researching tempo relationships, metronome markings, etc. so I'm very happy to find your wonderful channel. A few thoughts to share: as one who specializes in Bel Canto, from which so much of the musical/melodic gesture of 19th Century romantic pianism stems from, I can tell you that I've noticed quite a few problems when attempting to sing certain songs which have been ascribed metronome markings. For example, there is a Donizetti song I am working on where in one of the episodes there is a marking of Eighth Note = 116 in 6/8 (it is not yet ascertained if this is Donizetti's marking, or the editors). It's entirely too slow to sing it as a single beat, and it loses the arch and direction of the phrase, so adjustments are required...but even within the same episode, the accompaniment figures changed and thus the character of the music and text change...I find that approaching the phrases with flexibility allows for the musical and interpretative gestures to communicate more clearly and with greater ease. Of course, the discussion of 'rubato' is always tricky, however, in the case of Chopin, we know from many sources that his way of performing rubato was quite singular and is expected in his music. Evidently much of that style has been lost through the ages, but an interesting source that provides some indication are the Mazurkas transcribed and set to texts by Pauline Viardot-Garcia, who was a friend of Chopin's. Personally, I think the danger that has developed with metronome markings is the expectation that music should be therefore performed metronomically; I disagree in that there are many examples where a melody or the character of the music is revealed or altered by a slight adjustment in tempo. Bernstein made a fabulous video about this using the opening of the Eroica, and the famous quote of Gluck that a tempo too slow or too fast would alter and lose the character of "Che farò senza Euridice." In this particular instance of the Chopin Impromptu, it seems that a likely solution is that the successive progression of trills could indicate an interpretative broadening of the tempo which would certainly allow for the trills to be executed as indicated by von Bülow while still allowing them room for expression and phrasal direction. So much of what constitutes style and performance practice, alas, never actually appears on the page! All the best to you and thank you for all your wonderful hard work and research!

It's great to read your thoughts here Michele, thanks for sharing. If you have detailed questions on MM, sent me a mail at wwinters(at)telenet.be, I'll have Lorenz look at it, he has an incredible library of original prints. Rubato: it is tricky, some say (Mikuli) chopin played strict in time, others (Moscheles) reports on a concert he never kept time. I could imagine something in between, where Moscheles was old school, where in later Beethoven you'd have this Czerny rubato (he in detail describes this in his piano school opus 500 -also in English available) or later music where one would have somewhat more of that. Slowing down however in a particular place to make trills like this possible (or for instance in the etude opus 10/9, the quintool 16ths at the end) I don't see that they did that. Keep me posted on your findings!

How interesting to find a report of Chopin playing his own music in strict time to be rather strange because almost all contemporary reports were that he played with a particular and unique style of rubato. If I remember correctly, Max Rudolf made comments about this. I mean, his style of rubato was commented upon so often in contemporary sources that the very idea of playing almost anything of his in "strict tempo" seems unstylistic to me. But, I am also of the opinion that "strict" tempo does more harm to music than good...all 8th notes are not created equal, and musicality and phrasing comes from deciding how best to phrase a subject. Yes, every musician should learn how to play with complete metronomic control, but then the music needs to breathe. So much of Pre-Romantic music really is like jazz in that sense...this is the sort of approach that makes Gardiner's performances and recordings so exciting...a hint of improvisation, and a following of musical gesture. What I am imagining in the case of the trills is a broadening of the sequence, an interpretative expression to take us beyond the suspension created by the successive trills...as a result, a small relaxation of the beat, not really a slowing down, would allow for von Bülow's suggestion to occur more musically and not rushed....thus maintaining the same sense of the general tempo without resorting to an unmusical technical application or a distortion of the tempo. This is what I meant, rather than a slowing down. We vocalists do it all the time when we have trills because in order to be able to amply supply the trill with requisite breath and keep time for the mechanism to effect the nachschlag, there can be a broadening of the beat at the end of the trill to accommodate it. It has nothing to do with tempo but everything to do with style. For me, the musical gesture always comes first, otherwise what's the point? A small anecdote that maybe you can clarify: There are several reports that Mozart's style of rubato would be to keep the left hand in strict time while the right hand would bend the tempo. This was evidently so impressive and yet unexpectedly off-putting to some of his listeners, but other musicians would marvel at his ability to do so. Have you encountered further evidence of this and any idea of how he might have accomplished it without creating dissonances in the harmonic changes?

You've just assumed that he wouldn't have thought that way because it would be more convenient for you if true. What it far more unlikely is that he expected the opening to be played utterly without life.

I've heard Claudio Arrau and other play the impromptus and with this one the A and C sections are played quickly while the middle, the B section is taken a bit slower so as to enjoy the trills as if there's a reprieve and then pick up the tempo again for the end.

Hey there! I've just recently discovered your channel and I love it! I disagree with you in a lot of things, but it's always nice to hear different perspectives as long as they are well thought out. In the specific issue at hand, if you claim pianists at that time were not interested in keeping the musical traditional as much as we are today, why are we taking Hans von Bülow as a reliable source to how Chopin might have wanted his impromptus and more specifically his trills to be played? He was not a student of Chopin directly so why is his opinion so important to you? Furthermore, I would like to note that the "tr" notation for trills, is historically a rather free one. Especially for long trills. Can you imagine someone counting how many notes he's playing during the last pages of the op. 111 of Beethoven? In that particular passage I just want to have a nice soft trill with even sound. Some pianists will achieve that with very fast trills, others with not so fast. The fact the Hans von Bülow think you should fit 16 notes in the trill you are talking about is absolutely irrelevant to me. Most people don't count how many notes they play in a medium/long trill and I'm positive Chopin didn't either. In fact that might vary from performance to performance! Awesome video though!
@AuthenticSound

I see your point, but that's not the point that I wanted to make though. If you were studying with von Bülow, be sure that you had to play that trill exactly as he wrote in full. In fact, we have many examples of that. So, if he kept the tradition or not of Chopin, is quasi irrelevant. The problem I was reflecting upon is that 18 notes in one second makes no sense, and again, vB was not the person that would make such mistakes in his editions. So we just can skip that information as study material (which I would understand!) or reflect on it. That's all! Thanks for the compliment!

Why not a word about Bülow's little note on Cramer's metronome numbers in the preface to the edition?? Could be worth mentioning here the case of Frederic Lamond - he became a Liszt pupil after turning up to Weimar with a letter of recommendation from Hans von Bülow. (we can hear him talking about it himself here on KZitem) Lamond became particularly famous for playing Beethoven, and made an edition of the Beethoven sonatas; in which he reproduces many of von Bülow's metronome numbers. He also recorded a number of the sonatas on disc... while his tempi are not always precisely concurrent with his edition, they are certainly far from being anything like "half tempo."

So the students of students of, decades later, there is, to me, not much more to learn than how they played at that time, and yes, around 1900 that was really fast. Those old recordings for me are a strong sign that what musicologists tell us, that tempi decreased in the 19th c, is not the case, since that does not match with those recordings

That link goes to a video about Mozart, specifically about one person's vague recollections about a performance from 50 years before. Chopin's works were played continuously from publication by people who knew him well and respected his aesthetic judgments, and who would have definitely noticed if the tempi (given with metronome markings in early pieces) were so completely erroneous. His piano works were written for keyboards with a very light and rapid action, on which the tempi are easier to attain. Furthermore, Chopin was consistently reported to be a very heavy user of rubato. That particular bar should be played with a slight ritardando, but the trill should still glitter. It is perfectly possible to play as the editor suggested.

The point in the Mozart video is not if Tomascheck was right or wrong on the 1790 performance he heard, the point is that his MM were considered to be normal against the 1840 performance practice. So in 1840, no doubt about that, since Finck published those MM and so approved them, people were playing 'way faster', even in a way that Finck felt the need of using very strong words to condemn that. Well, way faster than the Thomasheck numbers, is not possible. So what's the solution? The Tomascheck story (he was a very known musician) is typically one that musicologists skip, since there is only one solution. And again, it is about the big picture.

I would look at this with a lot more confidence to common sense. ALLEGRO quasi presto IS fast. I would much more find reasonable that Bulow did not mean his 18 motes literally but he rather gave a general idea how to play this trill. I would also tend to find much more reasonable that those metronome markings are not BPM, or dive into the research of whether all metronomes were counting the same, rather than find an idea that covers some ambiguities but produces unreasonable musical result. If there are studies on the above matters it would be very interesting to present them in your interesting channel!

Sorry to say it, but I don't think playing those trills in that tempo as von Bülow notated them is difficult. And that is on a modern piano. To play the whole thing at half speed would be, as you said, all but Allegro assai quasi presto, and I think also the people of that time would've fallen asleep after one minute because it would be tedious. Normally Chopin's fast tempos aren't so strange, it's his slow movements that have weird metronome marks! For example the Nocturne D flat, but also many others.

Well, try it, it is impossible in fact. And people of that time were divided, it is not so hard to detect this, between an older generation that stood for classical technique and tempi (and Chopin for sure was in that part) and the newer, more technical generation. The older one did not fall asleep of slow performances at all, they rejected fiercefully the faster ones. See for instance : kzitem.info/news/bejne/kWyK3mpjr5F8eJw&index=4&list=PLackZ_5a6IWVP1Nb_Zxr-RfFHX62Nz9iQ

I TRIED IT. Not impossible, in fact. I started by playing four notes (16th-notes) against a quarter note, which is easy, then a little faster, so roughly six notes against a quarter note, sounds like normal trill. Then even faster. Sounds a bit hysterical but is doable. But I also did a lot of trill exercises as a kid...

I think there's a considerable spread among players, in their ability for speed in playing trills. Being a mere amateur, I fear I'm on the slow end of that spectrum, myself, but I don't doubt that there are some with that ability. An anecdote comes to mind. Back in, I believe it was the 1950's, there was a popular band leader/composer by the name of Leroy Anderson. One of his compositions featured the sound of a typewriter, played rapid-fire. The story goes that he couldn't find a typist who could type at the required speed (& probably with enough regularity); he had to use a drummer! Which highlights differing speed abilities, even among 'professional repetitive tappers.' I guess that could well include us pianists, at least when it comes to trills, and similar ornaments. And at MM 132 = ¼-note, 32nd-notes are at a rate of (132/60)·8 = 17.6/sec. That frequency, 17.6 Hz, is actually *a note* on the Bösendorfer Imperial Grand! It's about ¼ of a semitone above C₀#. Fred

I have a hard time believing that the number on notes in the representation of the trill is as relevant as you claim it to be (I think the point is much more to show how the "small notes" are to be played, since beginners might thing they have to play the "main" trill note twice in a row), however on this video we are diving into very interesting topics! The very definition of virtuosity changed in that time (losing its "compositional" component in favor of what used to be a matter of "dilettante", i.e. the playing by the score) and indeed the musical world was split between change and tradition. A lot of performers are unaware of that, and reading quotes of Czerny, Riemann, Wieck etc. about the situation of that time is extremely interesting! Have you read Eigeldinger's book about Chopin's students? (I believe you have because you seem very knowledgeable on this topic) It seems that his interpretation might not necessarily have been as "conservative" as you are implying, given that he reportedly allowed some very "sports-like" students to perform in his place when he was ill (I think one student's name in particular was Gutmann (quoting by memory, not 100% sure)).

Hi Matthieu, thanks for listening and reflecting. Well, we may believe the number of notes does not matter (since it doesn't fit in our current vision), but in fact trills were written out like this all the time, and it was quite a habit even to note them down in pencil in scores (I have several 19th c. scores annotated by teachers like this). Yes I know the book of Eigeldinger and the (in French) notes that Tellefsen made requested by Chopin to finish his piano school. It is striking how conservative they were (reason possibly why Chopin status at the end of his life). Tellefsen describes two Clementi etudes to show the basic Chopin technique, which is a closed fist (like Beethoven -Moscheles describes that as well- ) and Clementi's Gradus as were some CPEBach probestucke were among standard repertoire in lessons. I've made a video asking out loud if Chopin played the clavichord (since Tellefsen probably did in 1853), but I've found the answer: he did, and I have a magnificent quote that I'll share soon; Not to proof anything, but it opens a perspective on a different chopin than we see today (which is interesting, no more than that!)

Hello Wim, how are you? I got really interested in your research lately, specifically regarding the tempo and the metronome double beat theory. But I'm still a bit confused, how do you manage to find the correct tempo on a piece that has triple meter? For example the Dotted Whole note = 86, what would be the metronome using the single beat? I can find it easily on double meters but when it comes to third I get confused, anyway, I'm really grateful for your research and it has really helped my playing.

It is not so hard to find the right tempo with 3:2 (proportio sesquialtera), but honestly, I was introduced to the fascinating background of that, first when doing the interviews with Lorenz.

Thanks for this fascinating and instructive talk and demonstration! I cannot quite believe that the slower tempo is what Chopin had in mind for the opening section, but the questions you raise, and the information you base them on, raise many important questions, and for that, again, many thanks! I do not have the score handy. However, I just listened to the recording by Raoul Pugno (kzitem.info/news/bejne/mK5quGygjmerqWk), and I noticed that he takes a much slower tempo in the middle section of the piece, which contains the measures with the trills you mention. If that section of the piece was traditionally played more slowly than the metronome marking for the opening and closing sections (and Pugno was a pupil of Georges Mathias, who was a pupil of Chopin... though that is not definitive proof of anything), would that not explain some of this apparently impossible tempo for the trills, while leaving the opening at the faster tempo indicated by the metronome marking?
@AuthenticSound
6 жыл бұрын
Possibly... my take on this is that, in Pugno's case, he was indeed a student of Matthias, but they did not keep that tradition alive, in a way we would today. Pugno even shared some stories of his teacher, explaining to him about a certain nocturne, that Chopin played that much different then they did in those later days. It's is rather clear that listening to someone like Pugno gives you a picture of playing late 19th c which must have been completely different than 50 years before. We can not think anymore like that, for instance, see Tournemire, the student of César Franck and successor of the Saint Clothilde, he had the Franck organ completely rebuilt, electrified, horrible things done we'd say, and yet, he was so proud, saying that now the Franck organ is a better one for the music... that was composed for the previous organ. They really believed that change, progress, was part of keeping a tradition.

Perhaps I am mistaken. I am looking at your score in the video. However, I can tell you that between "before the beat" trill onset/termination and rubato, it is a silly thing to say that eighteen notes won't fit in one second. The incipit at the bottom of the page clearly shows a preparatory turn AND a termination. Those are (and should be) done with some artistic license in Chopin. Also, either you have a buzz trill - in which case, why would he write it out - or you have a measured trill. Measured trills are meant to be even. Eighteen doesn't divide evenly into fours. It does divide into three groups of six. (I can't tell if it is triplets or not but it appears to be grouped in fours.) If it's grouped in fours then SOMETHING is amiss mathematically. Any way you slice it, six notes can fit into a third of a second. A sextuplet can be played extremely quickly.

I've been doing some researches of my own - having biggest public library in Europe along the road helps! Mendelssohn trios, six movts, are impossible at single beat, sound 2/3 too slow at double beat - inference: were slower. Chopin Pno Conc 1 - likewise 2/3 slower. Beethoven Hammerklavier, certainly not single beat, again rather slow (haha I can play it all now). Beethoven symphonies. In many parts insanely fast as single beat, and double-beat comes over awfully tame (not like anyone would want to hear, Eroica begins and ends with a funeral march!) AND YET - certain parts sound ridiculously slow at double, and sound just right at single (fast) speed, including presto/prestissimos of 9/4 and 7/4. Oh, and the "EU anthem" in 9/4 (bar 92-, bar 240- and bar 535 (with ref to bar 331)) sounds like the Ode to Slugs instead. Maybe Beeth got his maths wrong sometimes. The more one knows the less one is sure of anything.... (Isn't there a quicker way of driving us mad?)

In order to 'hear' properly you will need to CHANGE YOUR VIDEO PLAYBACK SPEED TO 1.75 using the 'wheel' symbol next to the "CC" symbol underneath the video. Chopin's recording was from, 23 January 1890. Grunfeld's recording was from 18 November 1889. Thanks for your consideration. Enjoy.

Some of us occasionally revert back to the ü in our name now that it's easier to insert the ü with computers (as opposed to older technology typewriters).

As composer, I hate the notes diarrhea! Seriously! How could you dare to come to pleasure the audience with more than 8 notes per second? Music if for the delight the people. Of course, you can hammer the klavier (double sense needed here), but, it's more epic, more substantial and it caves deeper in the player and listener's souls of you try to give them some substance with the sounds you compose. That is why people event better slower movements and in the case with allegro ones, are the fewer notes contained pieces that people can retain. Vivaldi's Spring first movement principal theme is what people can remember, the rest, does need reconstruction with the music sheet or the audio, just for go with one example. Hasse's Parto qual pastorello is a vocal fireworks and acrobats composition full of difficult techniques, but are those less notes sections that makes the work so impressive. Finally, Locatelli's Harmonic Labyrinth concerto is a "demential" demand for a violin average player (Royer's Vertigo for harpsichord) But, even when Locatelli's idea was a self virtuosic composition, he knew he needed a theme with few notes that could bring to the mind the characteristic of his own stamp: good music coupled with virtuoso passages that imprint in people's mind a pleasant entertainment. Sorry for use Baroque examples only, but, come on! Those were the masters of the speed! ;)
