Tempo markings in a concerto
Posted: 24 Jan 2022, 17:04
With an orchestral score it's normal to have a tempo marking at the top, then at the brass, then above the strings.
With a piano concerto, there's room for a tempo marking above both soloist AND strings.
But what about with a woodwind or string soloist? It seems visually redundant to repeat a tempo marking immediately two staves in a row.
I'm looking for guidance here.
