Abstract
After last Monday night’s rehearsal on the “Coronation” Mass, K. 317 (and in anticipation of Mozart’s 254 birthday next week), I thought I’d reexamine a 1988 book Norman referenced in that rehearsal: “The Tempo Indications of Mozart” by noted French conductor and pianist Jean-Pierre Marty. I met Mr. Marty in New York during that Requiem-heavy 1991 Mozart bicentennial year and was quite taken with his ideas. After a lifetime of studying, performing and conducting Mozart, Marty had gathered in one volume a comparative analysis of every single tempo indication Mozart ever wrote down (including some that father Leopold supplied in the wunderkind’s early works, as well as the pieces where no tempo indication is noted at all).
