The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Once the happy part (or major, as some music snobs would call it) play it in a different tempo. I don't agree with faulty that it should go slower though. I think you should start in the same tempo, and then go faster and faster, as you'd speak, full of excitement!Imagine that you hear really good news, and that you tell everyone about it. You'd start in a normal speed, and end up in uncontrolled ecstasy. That's the true way of playing Mozart. That's the true way of speaking it, and therefore the way of playing piano!

I was just going to ignore you because of the unhelpful sarcasm but I'll address this tempo issue again.

Spoken speech has numerous minute tempo changes.  I referred to it as rate of speech earlier.  However, no one notices these minute tempo changes.  Likewise, there are numerous changes in the speed in music, but good execution makes these changes invisible because the listener is focusing on what is being expressed.  Poor execution of expression results in the listener hearing more than just the tempo changes but all the minute details of articulation, dynamics, phrasing, etc.
