Am I the only one who thinks that the speed sounds perfectly fine? When I played this in 7th grade it sounded just the same with the same tempo changes and all and I still think it sounds cool

[@francesvaccaro4085]

we play the beginning at a slightly faster pace, and that sounds a lot better and less boring in my opinion, but we still do the tempo changes and stuff like that.
