Overview and explanation about Tempo Indications
Determining a proper playing speed by understanding note values
Since note value (duration) is represented graphically by spacing and not by note shape in KlavarScore, there is no need for notes of different shapes denoting different note values. However, in Standard Music Notation notes have many different forms and are named based upon their duration (e.g. Quarter note, half note, eighth note, etc.). These note names are based upon a 4-beat measure, where a half note would last for half a measure, etc. but in other types of measures the note names remain the same (e.g. in a 3-beat measure, a half note would last for two thirds of the measure and still be called a half note, and there would be 3 quarter notes per measure instead of 4).
On some KlavarScores for music with non-standard beat counts, you may see Standard Notation "time signatures" such as 6/8, at the top of the score next to the first measure where the beat count is shown, where 6/8 would simply mean 6 eighth notes per measure which is the equivalent of 3 quarter notes per measure.
Below is a table showing suggested BPM (Beats Per Minute) per quarter note depending upon the fastest notes which are prevalent in a piece. The tempo variance is based upon tempo variations observed in a large number of pieces which Czerny had provided metronome suggestions for.
In accordance with Czerny's words, the BPM is greater when the note values are longer. For example, it suggests that a piece marked Andante, where the fastest notes are eighth notes, might be played at 60 quarter notes per minute, whereas it would be played much faster if the piece contained mostly half notes.
