Feel the impulse of the march like tempo. Steady but exciting. Please note, Gould didn't play it fast. He played it steadily, but with very strict tempo. But it sounds so exciting and energizing.
Sometimes, being frantically fast does not bring excitement. :-) It is being grounded and metronome like rhythm that makes Beethoven's sonata rocks. I think this is the most perfect version of the seemingly simple and cyclic movement of Beethoven's sonata No 13 in E Flat Major. Tempo marking is Allegro. To me it is an Allegro Marcato.
