Even though our top athletes would blast 19th century runners from the track, musicologists keep telling for us poor musicians such comparison would turn out really bad for us. A playing speed of 15 notes a second seemed to be for Czerny's and Beethoven's time absolutely a normal expectation for the average beginner. At least that's the practical conclusions of what the academic establishment insinuates (though they will not make that claim so practically visible to us...for a reason!)
But do the facts support the claims of those who'll get doctoral degrees with it? Let's see.
Last week I shared with you that incredible 1875 Czerny score with double metronome marks, edited and published by Charles Kunkel: • Not Pollini but Charle...
Thanks to Kunkel’s personal metronome marks, we could state as a fact that between 1839, the date of Czerny’s Schüle der Geläufigkeit and 1875, the date of Kunkel’s edition, tempi had gone up with an average of 43%. In this segment we are going to add another fascinating layer to that line of history. We will add the tempi of the opus 299 chosen in 1969 by the famous Czerny performer Vivien Harvey Slater. And by doing so we will have a unique line of tempo evolution starting from Czerny 1839 over Kunkel 1875 and ending in 1969.
