Need opinions... sry another thread on my repertoire...

on: September 09, 2005, 01:58:32 AM

Okkk... I can play the full grieg sonata, but I am getting kinda tired of playing it, and want to play a beethoven sonata. Ppl have recommended the tempest, which they say is around the same difficulty technically as the Grieg. It'd be a good help if you could list any other beethoven sonatas around the same TECHINCAL difficulty as the grieg...

And also, I have been inspired to learn the Prok 3rd sonata... what well known pieces does it compare to, and is it more difficult than his tocatta, which I got a small chunk done, but could not get any further...

Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

Haha, kinda ironic that i'm doing both the Grieg and Beethoven Tempest sonata for my recital. For other Beethoven sonata's around that level, you can try his Opus No. 7, Opus 2 No. 3, or Opus 10 No. 3 (which i think is a bit harder).

As for the prok. sonata, try No. 2. in d-minor. It is a little bit easier but still quite technically demanding as well.
