Furthermore, remember folks, Verdi's main influence was Rossini, at this tempo, you can clearly hear Verdi's debt to Rossini's music. That is as it should be. Rossini had an enormous influence over the Italian opera style, and that means quick tempi, sharp phrases, and florid string writing.

johnmannno, Thanks,it's a great explanation, given by an expert. I know he could do no wrong, fast or slow he is it. By the way, I'm extremely impressed with the harp playing, as seen on your upload.

If one more person says this is "obscenely fast" or "too fast" I'm going to scream. This is the tempo Verdi marked on the score. I've practiced the harp part to this piece for auditions many many times, and yes, conductors expect you to play it this fast. Now, they may not perform it at this tempo because it's unbelievably difficult, and it's real hard to keep together an orchestra at this tempo. But, this is what Verdi wanted. Toscanini knew Verdi, remember.

Because I've always listened to this piece, played at a slower tempo. that's all

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I do agree. I don't know why he took it at this tempo, but I would never question him. Just looking at him, you can see that he is "His Majesty" of music. grazie ancora, Antonio

Impressionante. Chi osa avere dubbi sulla grandezza di Toscanini non sà cosa significhi fare la musica!
