Favorite Beethoven piano sonata MOVEMENT

on: April 26, 2006, 05:54:48 PM

I will not list all of them

Should be around 100, right?

Anyway, i beleive it is interesting to know this, because it can happen that you love a particular movement of a sonata, but not so much the rest...So it is possible that your favorite movement does not belong to you favorite overall sonata.

In my case, altough i have listened to all 32 sonatas many times, i find difficult to make such a choice, because i tend to have more present in my memory those i have heard recently.

However, i will make my choice.

TEMPEST 3° movement

I kinda agree with Gould about that movement - something like the hardest, most unpianistic fugue ever written.

Waldstein, 1st movement, because it was one of the first movements of any sonata I'd ever heard, so it's more of a sentimental thing, really.

Waldstein 3 and 1. Can't wait to get good enough to play the whole sonata. This one just captured me the first time I heard it. Others are growing on me with repeated listening.

Four movements that are special to me are: Op.90, 2nd movement, Op106, movements 1,2, and of course the last movement of his last sonata.

The last movement of op.111 is unquestionably my favorite...

If I had to pick one, op.111, 2nd mvt.

It's so hard to pick! His sonatas are all great.
