I'm creating some midis and am just a little confused. Brahms marked
the slow movement to his op. 1 piano sonata "Andante". 2 performances
on recording (Rosel on Berlin, Biret on Naxos) take at least part of the
movement- parts that aren't marked adagio or piu andante (though parts of
them do have held notes) at about quarter-note= 28-30 or so. Now Biret is
a deprecated pianist in some quarters, but Rosel certainly isn't- at all-
and I don't think I've ever heard this movement taken any faster, at that.
This is slower than most adagios. Any ideas?
