TEACHING NOTES
Don't be scared by the term "Allegrissimo" as the indicated metronome is not as fast as you might first imagine. A performance of this Sonata should definitely have energy and forward momentum, but evenness of tone and rhythm is always critical.

Regarding the ornaments, mordents on quavers work well at this speed as a 3 note figure starting on the written note, whereas those on the longer crotchet can afford a 4 note pattern starting on the upper note.

The LH quaver lines throughout this sonata would work equally well, legato or staccato (this video goes with the latter) or even a mixture of both. Also open to interpretation should be some light and shade with your dynamics, and the performance given here is only a suggestion.
