Don't play it too fast.

"Don't play it too fast."

That's music to my ears.

That's nice. I also like the performance by Helene Grimaud that comes up on the first page of YouTube searches. I was surprised how metrically Richter and Schiff played it. Didn't listen to Grimaud's fugue though.

The Grimaud recording did not sound good on my laptop, so I skipped it.
Did not care for the Schiff recording.
Put headphones on. Like the Grimaud recording much better.

I had a few spare minutes, so I tried to sightread it yesterday. I think it's doable, but I need more than a few minutes and I need to give it some focus.

Focus and minutes are in short supply these days...

Good!! That's the best way; playing it yourself. That's how I came upon it; I was just playing through various preludes and fugues and thought, this one is really special.
