TH-cam brought up one of your videos on Beethoven's sonatas (the 32nd, I think), and I checked to see if you had one on the 29th and found this. Fascinating analysis, especially on the fugue. I agree that playing it is a big help in getting into it. It's beyond my ability as a whole, but I've attempted parts of it in the privacy of my home. I'll have to come back and check some of your other analysis. By the way, it's the "Lebewohl" sonata, please, not "Les Adieux!" :)
Could the metronome marking to the Hammerklavier MM138 be a mistake in Beethoven's handwriting? MM108 sounds pretty sensible. His 0s could look like 3s. Almost all metronome markings are multiples of 4, e.g. MM88, MM120, MM144, MM176 etc. Another possibility is he thought of a metronome marking like MM112, then Beethoven got a knock on the door and got distracted. When he went back to his piano he wrote down MM138 maybe because Schindler or somebody told him to be at 138 Bonngasse for dinner.
Just discovering your amazing videos today!
Bravissimo Boris 👏👏👏👏👏👏
