Why is the first movement so fast in the Staier's version? Is usually not slower?What’s the definitive/preferred piano version of BWV 1056?

There is no tempo indication for the first movement.Why is the first movement so fast in the Staier's version? Is usually not slower?
I don't find Staier's version fast - it's about right. However, the first movement of the piano version in post #1 is downright sluggish.
Just checked the timings. That YouTube version is about 10sec faster than my iTunes copy.Why is the first movement so fast in the Staier's version? Is usually not slower?
BWV 1080 ("Art of Fugue") wins and becomes the new king.
Individual score of BWV 1080: (4*6 + 1*3) / 5 = 27 / 5 = 5.4
