Which one do you WANT to play?
I doesn't matter for me, but i prefer the music of the Mozart more. I feel it is more emotional. I think the Beethoven is very dark and subtle.
Guys, you don't seem to understand me. I am not saying you choose for me. I am asking What will be more beneficial to my repertoire ?? And i mean the whole sonata not just the first movementAnd please don't talk about difficulty.
i personally chose mozart for my grade 8 because i couldn't stretch 10ths in my left hand for the beethoven. I actually prefered the mozart anyway, not sure why but yeah. The trills on the last page are tricky but u have to practice slowly and then speed up. beethoven is probably more exciting but seeing as you have a sonata of each im not really sure, i think im going to learn the rest of the mozart sonata too.
it gets quite difficult in teh third movement... as do all sonatas... be warned!!!Tom
easy solution: pick both.2 great additions to any rep. Both are relatively short sonatas.
