Mozart's Sonatas

[justliam]

Hi, I've just started learning Sonata in A K.331 I think it's supposed to be one of the easiest ones, and flicking through there are bits I can pretty much sight read i.e. start, var.1, Var.3.  Others are slightly trickier and I already know alla turca.  Basically the only bit I can see giving me a bit of trouble is Var.2 with the triplets, particularly as it sounds horrific when played slowly, which was what I usually have to do and wait till they get stored up in my hands memory hehe.  Also, trills and triplets together takes me sometime to get it neat.  But as that's the only problem was wondering if anyone knows any Sonata's around the same level or at least a bit more advanced.  By the way, I'm not a huge Mozart fan so the more lively and characteristic the piece the better

Have you considered learning the other movement, Menuetto and Trio? Also, for an easy one, try the K.545 (Simple), though it may be a little bit easy. You could try K.311, though again, it may be a bit simple. Try a Beethoven sonata.

Hey thanks, and yes I'm doing the entire Sonata, but the Minuetto and Trio are quite simple too

If you want Beethoven then I recommend Opus 2 No. 1 Sonata in F minor. It is about the same level as the K.331.

Edit: Maybe a little harder. I forgot about the 4th movement

K. 332 is terrific, very lively with a virtuosic last movement. It's a bit tougher than K. 331.

I'd  recommend the Beethoven Opus. 90 E-minor sonata. Its a great piece of music and is tougher than it looks  - just like K.331.

What about K 310 in a minor??? Lovely piece that one is...

Out of those thatI've heard, my favorite Mozart sonata is K. 457 in C minor. I also like the Fantasia (K. 475) that goes with it.

I have to agree with perfect_pitch...K310 is a nice one....and definitely advanced

I hate 10ths, I really do.
