Tempi in “Drums” by James P. Johnson

Hi all,

A quick note about tempi in “Drums,” for those of you joining this Sunday or next week:

All tempi will be performed as printed, with the following exceptions/notes:

  • m. 421: no subito tempo change. Instead, stay at half-note = 126 and ritardando to 88.
  • m. 441: tempo should be half note = 108
  • m. 473: tempo should be half note = 88
  • m. 489: we will play this a tempo (no allargando), at half note = 126

Thanks and see you soon!

James P. Johnson
