xx Tempest Sonata First Movement
February 01, 2011, 03:34:35 AM by maddenleaman

Looking at the score will make answering my question much easier, so I am just using this edition as a reference:[link removed by moderator]

Is it considered cheating to do all the triplets from measure 21 to measure 40 with the right hand while using the left hand to play the treble notes?  Doing this would result in releasing the whole note below the triplets.  My teacher alternates hands with the triplets (as is implied by the score), but I've seen others do it the way I want.  Is it generally an accepted practice to use only the right hand for the triplets?  If this isn't clear please ask me to clarify.

xx Beethoven's Sonata's

Probably one of the greatest Sonata performances has to be Glenn Goulds Sonata Op. 31 suite 2. Check out this video.

xx tempest movt. 3 question
November 14, 2008, 07:31:16 PM by fiasco

On the seventh page of Beethoven's Tempest 3rd movt, the repeating trill in RH is marked B flat - C, with the thumb hitting fourth note A.  Is that C sharp or natural?  The two C's below it are both marked sharp on my copy, but the C in the trill is not.  I think it's supposed to be natural but am not sure.

question Moonlight vs. The Tempest
April 16, 2008, 02:06:10 AM by sakhmet

Ok, I have this competition coming up in seven months and I am unsure as to what sonata to learn.  I have to learn either the first or last movement of one sonata and its a toss up between the third movement of The Tempest or the third movement of Moonlight Sonata.  Which do you think is a better show piece?   
The rest of my pieces are Heroique Polonaise by Chopin, Etude Tableaux Op 33 no 6 by Rachmaninoff, Prelude and Fugue in C Minor from the first Well Tempered Clavier by Bach, and there is a toss up between the first movement of BB 88 Bartok Sonata or Etude op 18 - 1 by Bartok.  I would really appreciate your opinion! WHich sonata do you think would compliment this regimen the most?

xx Beethoven Pastorale vs storm Sonata
December 09, 2007, 12:43:26 PM by fredo2

Hi guys,
some time ago i played the storm sonata, but i pretty much learnded it on my own, without teacher.
And now i started to play the Pastorale, and am wondering which one is more difficult to play, technically and musically.

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist
Australia

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
