Usually, it is played faster, withaout any other reason than exhibiting the pianist"s virtuosity. The seam can be told about xores writtn in an more or lass simalar way: the sonat op. 11à by Beethoven, the impromptu op. 94 n° 4 by Schubert, Orelude, chorl and fugue by cesar Francck. Some pianists are like Pavlov's dog: arpeggios call for virtuosity 😄😄😄 ❤❤❤
If not the best one, this sonata is pobably the best know of the wonderful CPE Bach. This sonata is commented by Charles ROSEN in his famous book about sonata formS. (S is important)
Indeed he is! In fact, he is playing a version arranged by Hans von Bülow in the 19th century. Bülow filled many chords, added inner voices, etc. Probably that was a common practice back in the day, but seems somewhat inadequate today.
I find the tempo too slow - a middleground between Hamelin - hyper caffeinated tempo and this rather overly stately one would be great. Gilel's articulations and dynamic shading is excellent - which Hamelin loses in his attempt to play the piece Presto - but note like Hamelin there are a few missed notes. CPE Bach, like Haydn and Mozart severely exposes the pianist. Wonderful sonata and I do enjoy the attention paid to dynamic shading and articulation. Some better balance of the chords as Hamelin shows by emphasizing more the top notes is preferred. I agree though that the Gilels will have me return to it more than the Hamelin as a dynamic that lacks diversity and a touch a bit too uniform is mroe tiring than a performance with greater variety of dynamics and articulations. Gilel's tempo for the first movement is probably the slowest that is allowable to my ears.
Are they really wrong notes or just embellishments ;). He seems to be improvising in a Gallant style. CPE wrote several essays on improv which I'd recommend reading
Perfection in tempo, articulation, sound, character. Great Emil Gilels!

@@gerardbegni2806 Who needs faster tempo, when Gilels plays. So many, now, obsessed with tempo. Listen how HE speaks!
I only recently got turned on to cpe. My gosh, he's fantastic!
I love this tempo and these panissimi...
Fascinant Gilels !
Сказочное исполнение!
Merci!
I like his tempo here - you can hear all the notes...!
thank you !
This is a wonderful rendering of Bach by a great piano virtuoso of our times.....as good or better than Glenn Gould to my taste. Thanks for uploading.
Schön...

This is very curious for Gilels! He's doing some things that are different than the written music, interesting.

This is Hans von Bülow arrangement for this piece. I find the slow tempo of the introit marvelous.
