Mozart and Schubert sonatas

[lagin]

Okay I GIVE UP!  All the Beethoven sonatas I like are too hard for me right now, but I still need a sonata.  Next try is Mozart I guess or Schubert.  So these are my choices:

Mozart:
D Major, K 284
A minor, K 310
D Major, K 311
A major, K 331
B flat major, K 333
C minor, K 457

Schubert
A minor, op. 42, D 845
G major, op. 78, D 894
A major, op 120, D 664
A minor, op. 143, D 784
A minor, op. 164, D 537
B flat major, op. posth., D 960

So can anyone list these in rate of difficulty similar to how the Beethoven ones were done in the other thread?

i can't rank them, its very subjective, i played mozart KV331 and schubert a major D664, both are lovely. mozart was a bit trickier for me in interpretative way while schubert has a bit more demanding 3rd mvt. why don't you pick one of beethoven op.49 or op.10/1,2, i don't see reason why not to play beethoven if you can manage that mozart

All the Beethoven sonatas that you like are too hard, but you would play the D960...?

i suggest K.311 i learn it now (just polishing 3rd movement)
very nice sonata.....

No no, guys.  These are just all the ones in the syllabus.  The Hammerklavier is in the syllabus, too.  I don't know which ones I can play and which ones I can't.  That's why I was asking you guys to rate them for me.  To be honest, I don't listen to Mozart or Shubert, so I'm not familiar with any of them, but I was willing to give them a try.  And the op. 49 of Beethoven is not in the syllabus under this grade because it's too easy, same with op. 10, no. 1.  Op. 10, no. 2 is here but I'm not sure I like it.  Hope that explains things!

I have played the Schubert D894 recently.

Mechanically, it is undemanding but you do need a few thousand shades of pianissimo.

Not much use, but it is the only one of that list i have played.

I just suggest playing one you really like.


Try Mozart K 284 if you want a kick in the face.


The 3rd movement (variations) can be pretty ridiculous.
