For this excerpt, is dotted quarter = 90BPM good or should I think about this in 2 since it’s 6/8?

[@DeniseTryon]

The tempo Beethoven wrote is dotted quarter = 104, and even though some of his tempos are really off, this one is good. And if you are thinking dotted quarter, you are thinking of this is 2. There are 2 dotted quarters per measure. I hope this helps.
