I miss totally the musicality. it is pure technic, the choral does not sing, esoecially when played in a detached way. This is a song which was sung by the community: Imagine they detach each note. Some articulations are very special. Uncomprehensible. there is a linked phrase and the 2 last notes are suddenly detached? Why.... it is the end of a sung phrase. the registration in the first mouvements are incomprehensible. Especially in the first movement. You cannot play the choral with 8,4,2’ even mixture, or something comparable. Either one takes a very smooth cornet, or the solo just brings in one or two additions compared to the accompaniement ( a smooth 4’ or/ and a very sobre 22/3, nothing that cries. And in the third movement, why not bind the right hand. I think Mendelssohn conceived the riight hand bound. It sounds bizarre to here the above line detached. Technically is it quite feasable and musically much better. The registration changes in the fugue can be made, but not in such a chaotic way. This fugue, also conforming to the basic text and in the whole shape of the Sonata must stand like a rock. It is an affirmation of God‘s strength after the bore interrogations of the first mouvements. So you can build up from F to FFF , you can also make sound the theme in the 2 places where it is in the tenor by playing it as a solo , but I don‘t think you can go just up and down , it is difficult to understand why you change like you do it. Sorry
