Favorite Beethoven piano sonata MOVEMENT

[stormx]

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

 

[rapmasterb]

Hammerklavier 4th - let's face it it just rules

[nanabush]

Waldstein 3rd mvmnt... stunning

[mikey6]

Hammerklavier 4th - let's face it it just rules

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

[Waldszenen]

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.

[rohansahai]

Appasionata 3rd.

[musik_man]

Either Waldstein 3 or Hammerklavier 3 or 4.

[letters]

Appasionata 3rd.

i agree

[alejo_90]

Pathétique - 1st & 2nd
Moonlight - 3rd
Waldstein - 1st & 3rd
Appasionata - 3rd
Les Adieux - 3rd
Hammerklavier - 3rd & 4th

Best

 favourite right now would probably be waldstein 3

[apion]

Either Waldstein 3 or Hammerklavier 3 or 4.

Waldstein 3 / Hammer 4

[lilypiano]

Tempest 3rd Movement

[deanslist]

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.

[burstroman]

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...

[nonfox]

I haven't heard so many of his sonatas, but my favorites of the ones I've heard is;

Pathetique: 1st and 3rd
Moonlight: 3rd
Waldstein: 1st

[BoliverAllmon]

pastoral 1st

[krittyot]

Definitely the last movement of the last sonata, no.32.

Simply the BEST !

[stevie]

moonlight 3rd , it was the first piano piece i fell in love with 

[jas]

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

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

[brahmsian]

Op. 109 3rd

[musicsdarkangel]

I have so many, but if I had to choose,

I'd pick Appassionata 3rd

[superstition2]

Op. 111, first movement

[stucoy]

3rd movement of op.109, and Arietta of op.111

[jason2711]

opus 111, 2nd movement for me too

also the first movement of the appassionata

fourth movement of the hammerklavier

2nd movement of opus 2/3

the final movement of the moonlight

and the first and third movements of tempest and pathetique

[apion]

Tempest 3rd Movement

Tempest 3 = great choice 

[e60m5]

Op.26 i

[arensky]

Tempest 1st mvt.

[zheer]

The Adagio from Beethovens Hammerklavier sonata.

[kelly_kelly]

Pathetique 1st
Moonlight 3rd
Tempest 3rd

I haven't heard enough, though

[el nino]

waldstein 3rd-just divine

[pianote]

oooh tough question...

op.27, no.1, IV
pastoral,   1st
waldstein, 3rd
op.110, 1st and 3rd
Les Adieux, 1st
last one, last movement

as of right now...there's just something about the finale of op.110 that I like.
