That's the tempo that's shown in the Barber collected songs. I turned on my
metronome and found that I do it at about 68-70 rather than 72 - not much of
a difference. It clips along at a pretty good pace.

Hi all,

I was hoping that someone out there has a copy of the above, or has
heard it sung.

I think my copy has a typo when it says what speed it should be. I
have it as Allegretto, with a dotted crotchet = 72,

The Allegretto is ok, but if it is indeed rhythm 72, then the piece
feels far more like a presto (and a horribly difficult one at that -
semiquavers all over the place) than anything else.

Anyone? If you have a copy, would you mind checking?

Thanks a lot!

Di
