My band is playing this for the BOA national concert festival. I needed help on what to do in the second movement, since I am the principal bassoon player. I would like to say thank you for uploading this!
That's really the written tempo. My Conductor's been taking the piss out of us because we used to keep dragging it as more notes appear on the page xD They kept up the tempo, it's a great performance. Personally I think the second movement was fast. But I've been almost on the floor having a seizure, gasping for air to feed the Cor xP
