 Appassionata

Hello Everybody!
I want to develop myself to play this sonata because I think, as do others, that it is a rewarding and beautiful piece. I learned Beethoven's Op. 2 No. 3 Sonata already, but want to learn a Schubert Sonata that would be beneficial to acquire the techniques that are demanded in the Appassionata. I am choosing a Schubert Sonata just to do something out of the ordinary for a change.
So, any suggestions?

Beethoven Appassionata

My number one piece I want to learn for the piano has been (for quite a while) Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata Op. 57 Mvt 3. I would most likely start it in June or July because of other pieces I am learning for competitions and recitals right now. I was wondering you all think I'm ready for such a monstrous piece based on my current repertoire. Just as a note, I never move on from a piece until I can play it to absolute perfection.
Significant pieces I have played:
Beethoven Sonata No. 8 Op. 13 Mvt 1, Pathetique
Beethoven Sonata No. 17 Op. 31 No. 2 Mvt 1, Tempest
Beethoven Sonata No. 27 Op. 90 Mvt 1
Bach Italian Concerto Mvt 3
Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 17
Mozart Sonata K. 284 Mvt 1
Mozart Sonata K. 310 Mvt 1
If you think I'm not ready yet, please recommend a piece of lower caliber but maybe of similar style. Thanks!

VIDEO: Beethoven Appassionata 3rd Mov

So I was going to submit the following to colleges as a supplement to my regular application, but after recording this, I realized I accidentally skipped a few measures of the piece at 3:20. Should I rerecord, or is this good enough (I'm not sure if the admissions offices or music departments review these things...?) Other feedback is of course appreciated!

final recital next summer (program)
September 13, 2010, 11:10:43 PM by thorn

I was supposed to learn this over the holidays though I've been a bit bad at focusing on just a few pieces. So now I'm in a bit of a bad place with term starting in a couple of weeks and I was supposed to have the pieces learned, nowhere near perfect just able to play through them comfortably. So my first question is how would people suggest I go about reaching this level over a short period of time? I am able to practise for a riduculously long time per day but don't see the point in just sitting there messing with them all of the time so any tips?
Secondly, my teacher was really vague with what she asked for: a Classical sonata= fine, a modern piece= fine then she said something "beautiful", which is really vague and I've been having trouble deciding and sticking to this third requirement.
So far, my program is this:
Beethoven: Sonata op 57
Ligeti: Automne a Varsovie
For the 'beautiful' piece, I chose Chopin Ballade 4, but I recently realised that although I would easily be able to pull it off by next May, I probably won't get that high mark for it as it's a really difficult piece to please anyone with. So I've been looking at the Szymanowsky Metopes instead.
So, which Metope do people think would be the best to put in there? Or would it be wiser to stick with the Ballade or at least play it to my teacher and see if she agrees with my views on it or thinks it will be alright?
With the Metopes, I'm thinking Nausicaa would be the best contrast but it is in my view the most difficult of the three. Isle of the Sirens definitely fits "beautiful", but it's pretty similar to Ondine which I played last year. Calypso is the same kind of mood as the Beethoven and the Ligeti so I don't think it would be THAT much of a contrast.
Help?

Beethoven Appassionata Movement 1?
July 17, 2010, 08:53:35 PM by extremelyfatchicken

I was going to play the 3rd movement of the Les Adieux sonata but now I heard the first movement of this sonata and I love it. How difficult is this sonata? I haven't played beethoven for while, and the last sonata I've played by him was the moonlight 3rd movement, but that was over a year ago. I've played Chopin etudes op 10 no 12 and op 10 no 1 and his 2nd scherzo.
Can anyone inform me about the difficulty of this piece? I'm okay with challenges.

 Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata
June 01, 2010, 09:22:08 PM by emma92

I just heard Beethoven's Appassionata sonata a few days ago for the first time and I love it I like it better than the pathetique and moonlight sonatas.
I especially like the third movement and I want to learn it, but apparently it's past grade 8 and diploma standard so I think it might be too much of a challenge for me.
I'm on grade 8 now and I'm learning the 3rd movement of the pathetique sonata and the most difficult thing I can play is the fantasie impromptu.
So I'm just wondering what do you think, is it too challening?
And if anyone can play it how difficult was it to learn?
Here's the link to Valentina Lisitsa playing it, she's absolutley brilliant

"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.
