Beethoven’s Sonatina in G Major has a pleasant and happy character throughout both movements. The first section in 4/4 time is intended to be played at a moderate tempo. The second movement is written in 6/8 time and is titled Romance. Despite the meter change, the two movements are reminiscent of each other. Both melodic material and structure are similar, and the casual listener may not notice the meter change as it's quite subtle; the basic pulse remains more or less the same.
The authenticity of this sonatina as a Beethoven piece has been called into question. It was actually published after the composer's death, leading some historians to doubt whether or not he actually composed it. Nevertheless, it is a well-known piece that is frequently studied and performed today.
I'm learning this piece in class and I made a video of the first part of it. I play since late 2006 and this is my first recording ever It was fun to do, but I had to do it like 5 times to have it without errors But there are still some little flaws Anyway, here you go: http://youtube.com/watch?v=11mVo1kuRGc&feature=user
"All of my students are members of Pianostreet and many of my teacher colleagues have joined as well.
It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike and there is very rarely any need to visit another website or music store in search of sheet music."
"As a frequent user of pianostreet.com I find it easy to navigate, great value for money and very professional. The pieces are all well-graded and the audio is really useful, especially for pieces not heard before. I have recommended the site to many of my friends who play the piano. Keep up the good work."
"Wonderful service! [...] I have no reservation in recommending it as a “must” to all pianists, both teachers
and students, amateur and professional." Read full review >>

"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.
