This is the perfect speed for this piece. Never understood why everybody plays first movement really fast in competitions. The composer literally wrote "20 minutes" on the sheet music.
I agree with your opinion. But why is the part written as 88 BPM? I think Mr. Sugawa's performance is very musical and has a good tempo. The BPM is not constant, but is between 70 and 80. His performance can be felt as "Allegro molto moderato" as written in the score. When players play at 88 BPM, most of the performances sound like they're in a hurry because their technique can't keep up. I'm having trouble finding a balance between following the BPM written in the sheet music and playing musically.

Bravo!!!
Que lindo ché ..
I see you (Sugawa) pushing F# with your ring finger! @4:17. Always wondered how everybody performs this passage differently.
You should really try it (if you dont already do) and if you dont do ring finger. What do you do?
@@luejohan8540 I definitely do it.
Amazing!
Is it just me or does his mouthpiece look like a selmer Concept? I thought he only played on a Selmer 190
That is an s90 190. Concept is slanted at cork.
What’s the name of this great pianist?
It is sugawa’s wife, Minako Sugawa
