In this version, the tempo is Crotchet (Quarter Note) = 112 BPM. Here are a few things to help you navigate through this piece:
1. There is a 2 bar preparation and you come in on the 4th beat.
2. Throughout the piece, you can look for my cues - deep breaths signalling your entry.
3. Notice the difference between melodic and virtuosic passages. Bring out the different characters!
4. You will notice I play organically (instead of metronomically) with time at the beginning and ending of phrases.

Last but not least, I'd like to emphasize that this is only one of many interpretations and possibilities.
