I only thought this was okay...I also play this sonata, so let me tell you, this is not a piece to be played on the electric piano. First of all, there were too subtle differences between dynamics, I often heard what was read to be a f, or sf, but you played it (or i thought you played it) in p, or mp. I've always thought that you should get in the mindset of what is thought to be Beethoven when playing any of his pieces. Because as you probably know, Beethoven wasn't exactly the most happy individual in the world. So it's probably good to exaggerate some of the dynamics, some of the time. I play the loud, minor key, parts as if I were angry; the soft, major parts, as if I were happy and peaceful; the soft minor parts as if I were growing in anger; and the loud major parts as if I am very happy. Now this is just my interpretation of the piece.....otherwise, this was quite enjoyable.

P.S. Remember, don't ever perform this piece on an electric piano!...unless of course you want to.....
