Not sure how popular or easy/difficult this will be.
Obviously many movements are just marked 'Allegro' 'Andante' etc, but then there are the unusual ones.

Most pianists would recognise 'Adagio Sostenuto - si deve suonare tutto questo pezzo delicatissamente e senza sordini' as being the instruction for the first movement of the 'Moonlight' Sonata.
Anyway here are two more from standard piano repertoire.

If you know them add one or two of your own, with a clue if necessary, and we can see if we can get this thread to work.

1. 'Etwas lebhaft und mit der innigsten Empfindung'
2. 'Sehr rasch und in sich hinein'

What works are they from, and come to think of it, what is a literal translation ?

Hmmm perhaps it was a little too difficult.
The first one was a Beethoven Piano Sonata Op 101, the other from Schumanns Davidsbundlertanze.

Maybe there are some easier ones.! I'll try to think of a couple

Very good thread fsharpminor.

So it's a shame that no one's posted on it

Surely someone can think of something... Anyone?

Keep this thread going!!

I like it! *Doesn't come here often*

Not the most interesting, but I've found one amongst my clarinet books :

'Vivo e strepitoso'

The first one F#m posted translates as 'Somewhat lively, with deep feeling' I think....
Second one is along the lines of 'Very fast and into oneself'

Literal translations... Doesn't make much more sense!

Sorry I dont know much clarinet repertoire !
Any clarinettists eg Barry know that one ?

Well, this is very common, but what on earth do people mean when they say 'andantino'? 'A little walking pace'? Never quite got the point of that myself...

I THINK that if it's romantic music or later, it's a little faster than andante and if it's earlier, it's a little slower.

It's basically 'faster than andante' though

Thank you for clarifying that lizbun - I've never understood the explanation that sometimes it can mean faster and sometimes it means slower, but it makes sense now
