In Reply to: This is a slippery slope with Shostakovich... posted by SE on March 20, 2007 at 06:16:15:
All you have to do is observe the metronome mark.While Shostakovich was still living, Celibidache wrote to him, asking if the MM (eighth-note = 176) was right or not--it seemed too slow even to Celibidache! He received a postcard from Moscow, unsigned, with one word on it: "Correct."
