Beethoven Op. 2 No. 3 or Op. 28?

Nancy Weems, my new teacher at University of Houston, just gave me the choice.  I'm leaning toward Op. 28, but what are your thoughts?

I know of this Nancy Weems.  She's apparently a very very succesful teacher in Texas if I remember correctly.

I would play the op. 28 personally.  I like it better and it isn't played as much as op.2 no.3

I agree. Op.28 is not as often played as Op.2 No.3 and is, IMO, one of the best sonatas Beethoven wrote. You should definitely side with 'Pastorale'.

Thanks for making me feel better about choosing the slow one...and I love the rocking feel of the last movement.

And Mrs. Weems is awesome.  She's very inspiring, and somehow has amazing energy with no coffee whatsoever.  She also is quite devoted to her students, she doesn't just treat them like a job or a product she runs through the mill.

the rondo movement is really fun to play- the meter makes the piece flow really well.
