When I performed this piece I, like all other marimbists, also wondered about the tempo marking for the 3rd movement. I found the answer to my question when I searched the PAS archive. In the April 1996 Percussive Notes there is an article titled "The Birth of the Creston Marimba Concerto: An Interview with Ruth Jeanne." Ruth Jeanne is the marimbist who premiered the piece. In part of the article, she talks about her premier of the piece, including that she "didn't play it at MM = 120, and Creston never said anything to me about the tempo." If you are a PAS member, there are also a few other articles regarding the Creston that might be great resources for you.
