First, this Courante II and the two Doubles must all be played at a single tempo. Therefore, one should play Doublé I, which contains the most rapid notes, and choose a tempo that allows the left hand's 16th notes to be played without strain. Furthermore, since this Courante II is a French-style courante written in 2/3 time, it should fundamentally never be played fast.
As if proven by this very courante, courantes written in 2/3 time should never be played fast. When one observes the ornaments in Courante II, which is played first, it becomes evident that a fast tempo would lead to strain and a truly restless performance. Although Doublé I contains the most rapid notes, even when playing it, a certain degree of composure is desirable.
As a recommended tempo, approximately half note = 60 is suggested.
