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? |

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.

| I would rank this movement as one of my favorites of all the Beethoven sonata movements and would love to learn it. Just how difficult is it? I am now finishing up the Elegie Op. 2#3 by Rachmaninoff, I have learned the Pathetique 1st movement in the past, working on Schumann's Papillons and Chopin's C# minor waltz. I'm a working adult, mainly pracitice on weekends. Do you think the Tempest 3rd is too much of an undertaking? Thanks for your input. |

The first movement!
Largo - Allegro

| Hey. I played this at a recital this year (I could not attach the whole sonata). I am a junior in college and going to be auditioning for grad schools next year. I plan on using the same sonata, and I have till probably December 2007 to work on it. Any comments would be appreciated, also anything as to the level of school I should be looking at. I hope to major in piano performance. |

Advice is welcome. |

| As I've added Schumann (Abegg) and Chopin (Nocturne) from a recital last fall, I also want to share with you my favourite piece from the concert, Beethoven's "tempest"-sonata, op. 31 no.2. Feedback is most welcome! |

What are the greatest recordings of the following Beethoven sonatas in your opinion.
Pathetique
no. 17 "Der Sturm"
Moonlight
No. 30
I havel listened to Brendelīs and Schabelīs recordings but I find them a bit overrated.
