Notes for USSO Musicians Sorceror’s Apprentice Assez lent – very slow 3 Vif – fast 3 Figure 6 Vif 3/8 – it’s in 1 throughout but mostly conducted in a 3 pattern Where you have staccato please make it very short indeed Please look up between 20 and 22 so we can vary the tempo Also at 28 Important; the retenu before 42 – suddenly slower. Will try to beat this in 1 pattern. Please count! And then we get faster going in to 43 48 and 49 should be sparkling and brilliant Between 49 and 50 please note tres legerement retenu – definite big rit led by trumpet & violas (then a tempo as marked) Final assez lent in sudden slow 3 Capriccio for tuba Strings – start with a big accent on the string, exciting gutsy sound. 1 before A. Please wait for cadenza. Then upbeat into 1 before A a tempo as marked. bar 44. I stop beating. I start beating 1 before F b 118. Horns please add a crescendo b 119-120 strings please add a long dim; make the staccs short before letter O there is a longish cadenza. Going in to O you should see 4 beats then 2 beats, then you’re in (lower strings) Beethoven 5 1st movement. KEEP IT STEADY. Not too fast. Almost always there will be AND 1 before every entry of the main motif (following the pauses) bar 36 to 43, note crescendo, build Yes we are doing the repeat 3rd movement it’s in a steady one, 2 bars in Don’t rush We are doing repeat Going into 4th movement (allegro) Same pulse but in 2 We are doing repeat.
