Whilst the keyboard sonata should be played as fast as possible don’t try and play it quickly until you can play it slowly! An even tempo is required and is an essential test of any performance. Whilst this is an excellent piece to encourage fast playing secure right and left hand fingering will need to be in place and have to be perfect!  The video score plays back  at 120 quarter note beats to the minute and use of the sustaining pedal is recommended although it is not marked on the score. The music editor would suggest anyone who can the sonata accurately at a tempo of 132 has genuine potential as a performer. The musical material is in itself not difficult: the challenge is simply playing the piece at a tempo that allows the content to come alive. There are some excellent recordings available of this sonata that explore different tempi. As far as the music setting is concerned, there are some different options as far as grouping and beaming of the notes.
