2nd movement[edit]

You're probably right; the violin part has Andante mosso, the score and the other two parts have Andante mesto.

So very true, though in Enescu's case too many of the English-language "scholarly" sources suffer from the same problem, especially when the authors are not able to read Romanian. Bentoiu is no doubt the best source in English, though his translator made a disappointing number of mistakes. FWIW, Hoffman and Rațiu also confirm "mesto", on p. 355 of the Monografie.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 00:11, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are more confusing cases... e.g. (but hardly only!...) the first movement of Myaskovsky's fifth symphony, where most sources (if liner notes and CD cases count as sources, I guess- they shouldn't) have Allegro amabile but, iirc, at least the one and only score I've been able to consult had Allegretto amabile. Maybe that wasn't the first edition score, though, or maybe there's a surviving holograph score that trumps both, or. I wonder if Tassie in his new book on Myaskovsky has something to say about that, come to think- I should try to interloan that. (I did borrow a German translation of the one major book about him (Gulinskaya iirc?) awhile back but only for a month or so.) Probably other cases involving Enescu more specifically, too...
