I used to play it as fast as humanly possible when I was 15 to show off at school...

Then my mate's mum who I badly fancied said I should I should try it much slower.

You can guess how I play it to this day still! :oD

Outstanding. Pure piano skills. You did an awesome job on this piece. Unfortunately, I just started this piece so I'm not very good. But, listening with the book in front of me, I thought you did an incredible job. Nice work!!! (:

[TzviErez]

YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW ON YOUTUBE PLAYING THIS AT THE RIGHT TEMPO!!! I don't know why, everyone plays this too fast. Bravo!

[BelleRose74]

thanks so much!! :)

Actually, Allegro is faster than this, unless my metronome is fucked up.

[FlyForITG]

@TzviErez Because the tempo= as fast as you can.

It is actually written in most scores as Presto, which means as fast as you possible can (without removing the emotion and dynamics.)

[fluffytom82]

@FlyForITG No, prestissimo just means "very fast", not "as fast as you possibly can".

By the way, baroque indications aren't about tempo, as they are now, but about feeling. You can (and should) play this quite a bit slower while not loosing the "very fast"-feeling.

@TzviErez I completely agree with you as far as preference of tempo goes but the song was designed, I believe, to be played as fast as possible. I don't think that was a good decission but I do believe it to be the case. I do not claim to play piano though so I may well be entirely wrong. At any rate, please upload again with more length and higher quality! Good tempo.

@TzviErez do you know why everybody plays it to fast, It's because it says presstissimo on the sheet, so it's actually givin that you try and play it as fast as you can (my teacher told me today) but I personally like the slower versions to. :)
