Harp Heaven Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 I have three pieces for my next piano lessons, all written by Schostakovich. The tempo notation for one of the songs, is Ridicolosamente. It cannot be found on my metronome, and I don`t know where else to look. Do any of you know what it is? In bpm, of course.

thoughtintruder Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 All I know is that Ridicolosamente means Ridiculously in italian ....if there is such a word. Something ridiculous I guess dunno wether its fast or slow tho.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha ha faa_Q Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 It's one bpm behind Ludicrousamente. Seriously, it sounds pretty fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harp Heaven Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 Darn... Ludicrous. Maybe it isn`t a fixed tempo? Its up to the player to decide what ludicrous means, no? I just made a midi file of it. Its really strange, schostakovich is a contemporary composer. If this is going to be fast, I`d better get my counterpoints straight!

Uh Clem Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Sounded like this was going to be another health question for a second there...and not one we wanted to get into. Seriously though, do a search in Google and you'll find several pages of examples.

Harp Heaven Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 Darn...Now I gotta blame my teacher for being russian. Ridicolosamente isn`t the tempo, its the name of the movement! The composer is Prokofiev, not Schostakovich. Better get things straight before I post. *shakes head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha ha faa_Q Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hmmm... isn't there a Ukranian composer named Sasquatchovich? Or is that a myth? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Leites Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 I've been looking for the term with Google, seems to mean that it sounds "jocular", or like laughing.
