I'm in a different timezone and these sessions always seem to be 6am local time which I can't do. But I'd welcome any advice at all on any of the following:
1. Broken arpeggios e.g. from Mozart Sonata 13 B Flat Major KV333 first movement.
I continue to struggle with this finger work. What has worked for others to master this passage and similar ones?
2. Also from the same movement, is there an unwritten agreement that it's ok to slow down in order to execute these trills?
3. In Mozart's Sonata No. 6 "Dürnitz" in D major K.284 first movement, is this playable, by anyone? I've been playing a simplification. Do others who aren't Glenn Gould also play a simplification here?
Any thoughts, comments, tips on any of these much appreciated!

You know, there's a famous story of Mozart being jealous of Clementi's abilities as a pianist with respect to the playing of passages in thirds! That being the case, I often wondered if Mozart himself was able to play those thirds.
I think even Mitsuko Uchida is playing a simplification here?
