I'm surprised you took the 2nd repeat! I don't intend to in my recording.
My apologies for not being able to make it with the 2nd movement - I couldn't get it memorized and underestimated its difficulty. I hope I haven't wasted too much of your time - It's still a wonderful movement, and I plan to finish learning it.
I really can't see the problem with this tempo. When I play it like this, and when I listen to recordings at this tempo, I feel absolutely certain that this tempo is intended.
Then show me how fast can you do your presto. Anyway, as pointed out, the Allegro in early beethoven sonatas is not suposed to be super duper fast like hell. I think pro pianists that record it very fast do it because they have enough technique to do so, and at the same time keep prahsing, dinamics and all stuff sounding good. For students, I believe itīs better to play a little bit slower, but very even, being able to color the music, to give it nice phasing, nice dinamics. You donīt need to play it slow, just hold your horses a tiny little bit, maibe you will make it sound much nicer. I agree her tempo is a little slow, for allegro, but the character overall is very nice. She got the escence of it, just a bit faster and itīs ready to go.
We will never agree about this.
It is not a finished, polished performance, but when it is, I intend to have my phrasing intact at the speed I recorded.
