Yes, well played.  It really gets him sweating, too: how hot was it in 
there with the lights and that coat?  I think it's kind of funny how GG 
swings around so much...and the cameraman tries to keep him in the shot....

I put on GG's later recording of this piece after watching the 
television version.  It's much slower, taking two minutes longer.  What 
a difference!  I like the drive of that televised performance better.

It's not really "late" Beethoven; B was only 31 when it was published. 
Same year as the so-called "Moonlight" and a bunch of other sonatas.
