Andante- D Major
Andante Con Moto- B Minor
Allegro Maestoso- D Major

[@petertyrrell3391]

This is how this sonata is typically played. However, the andante con moto sounds more like an allegro moderato, and the there is no maestoso in the allegro maestoso, which here sounds as if it had been written in 2/2, not 4/4. Even the opening chorale needs more dignity.

Agree. A bit fast, but still splendid.I played it years ago, and my feet still dance !
