xx Excerpt from Pathetique Sonata Mvmt. 1
April 15, 2011, 04:24:11 AM by musicluvr49

Hello,

I'm doing a competition on the 29th, and I'm playing the 1st movement of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata. I just found out today, that I can only perform 5 minutes... but they say that I can perform an excerpt. Sad  I really don't like the idea of cutting parts out from this beautiful sonata, but it is my best piece that I have perfected, so I really want to perform this one.

Anyone have any ideas which parts I should play that would be under 5 minutes? Playing through the whole thing, takes me about 10 minutes.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks. Smiley

xx Pathetique 2nd mvt.
February 16, 2011, 08:01:32 PM by fred792k

Hello.

Could you tell me how difficult the 2nd mvt of Pathetique is compared to Träumerei and Moonlight Sonata mvt 1.

I Can play a minute of the second movement of Pathetique so far, but I don't know, if it's too difficult. What do you think?

Kind regards

xx Voicing in Pathetique Sonata 2nd Movement
January 29, 2011, 07:27:37 PM by musicluvr49

Ok, so I've been playing this piece for about a month now, and I think I've got it down pretty well. But I was wondering... Has anyone ever tried doing like seperate dynamics and voicing for each voice in the piece,  other than the melody line? I just though of this, but I think it would sound really cool. Smiley

xx Pathetique Sonata 1st Movement speed.
January 13, 2011, 03:25:17 AM by musicluvr49

I listened to a couple of recordings of this, like Horowitz's version. and I was wondering......Does this sonata really have to be played at that speed, or can it be slower, and still be acceptable?

I really need help getting the stacatto double notes in the right hand to the right sound. I'm not quite sure how to pedal on this part, but I also dont think it should be completely free of the pedal. Help?

"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.
