@susannerup There is NO set tempo for music. There is no such a thing as too fast or too slow. Only interpretation. Obviously the pianist liked this tempo (so do I)
@bartje11 That makes no sense to me. If I decided to play the first movement of Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata Molto Lento would you be inclined to say "there is no such thing as too fast or too slow". Why should composers bother indicating tempos if there are no boundries? Clearly, there is no such thing as an "Allegro" or "Adagio" tempo as such, but these terms set boundries and to transgress such a boundry is to take it too fast or too slow.
@bayreuth79 Look at Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata first movement it says Cut time 2/2
NOBODY plays it that way, ever. It should be played much faster......... just to give you one example. Everybody plays it way tooooo slow. But hey interpretation. It took Elgar only 45 minutes to get through his first Symphony but most conductors take 10 to 15 minutes longer...........
The first dance is much to fast played !

Might just be the lightness of the playing, but these dances remind me of Debussy and (especially) Satie. These are quite lovely.
