Sibelius tempo mark

I've heard that Sibelius's tempo mark for the third movement of the2nd Symphony -- Lento e suave -- is incorrect Italian. Can anyone please verify that and tell me what the correct Italian should be. . .?

hello and welcome.

lento e soave .... is that what you were looking for?

Many thanks! Yes, that answers my question perfectly. The reason I needed to know was for a question on a Sibelius Quiz I'm just completing for my SevenSymphonies.com Web site. I'll be uploading the mammoth 144-question quiz within the next week if you're interested in taking a look at it later.
