ALLEGRETTO - Antonio Diabelli Download the piano sheet Here The tempo of the score is quite fast, it’s an Allegretto, which has metronome variation that ranges from 150 to 180.. So it’s very fast.

The right hand plays on 5 notes, while the left hand has a slightly wider range. The left hand, indeed, plays almost always half [...]
