I think the tempo right here is almost spot on. This prelude is often times over romanticized and is dragged around just a little too much.

@evolsieilrak i like it dragged on, these seems to rushed and very tense. he doesn't have the ebb and flow of intensity like good versions do

I kind of think this is a bit fast. But it's still great.
