The tempo is presto non troppo meaning fast but not too fast.

I guess different transcriptions have different tempos. I'm pretty presto non troppo is telling you to go full speed but not out of control.

[@yotrakzproductions7324]

I like your mistake (LOL or was it really) in meas. 4 where the C on the 2nd 16th of beat 3 is omitted.
