I need a little advice.

ive been playing for about a year and half and i know moonlight sonata mvt 1 and 2 and was wondering about rhapsody in blue should i wait or try it and mvt 3 for moonlight






p.s. i kno how to play other songs to

[pill]

I would say complete the whole sonata, you're almost there, and playing the whole piece in front of some audience (say your friends or relatives) is much better than playing half of it, in my opinion.

ok i also can play them well too

If you've only been playing for a year and a half and the Moonlight's your first Beethoven, DO NOT attempt the third movement. It's a monster of a movement, and trying something like that so early will just lead to frustration and poor technique. Go for one of the Opus 49 sonatas if you want to keep with Beethoven. They were Beethoven's teaching sonatas, and they're a good intro to his piano works.

Actually, musically, the first movement is by far the most difficult.

I can't reply yet until I understand what the poster meant by "I can play other songs, too."
