little Appassionata

Anyone have trouble enduring this sucker.

Strangely, I find the Moonlight 3rd mvt more taxing than this sonata.  Appassionata is definately technically harder though.

The left hand tremolos in the third movement are a pregnant dog , as is the coda .

uh... Op.2 No.1?

Or are you referring to the "Appassionata' Sonata Op.57? Because there's a world of difference between them.

Thanks for the reply's, there's some confusion, I am referring to "little appassionata" sonata, not the "Appassionata Sonata"!  Haven't got there yet.  This is Beethoven's earlier work from about 1793-1796, and demonstrates a un developed hand.

Yeah, I figured as much. 'Little Appassionata' is a less-used moniker for Sonata No.1 in F minor, Op.2 No.1.

I personally haven't played it, but what problems are you having with it? Maybe someone else can answer.

  Sheesh, this is the first sonata i learnt and performed for an examination at 16 , i love it, the 4th MVT is early Beethoven fury, great place to start. If you tell us what you find difficult we my be able to help.
