I wish I could be of more help.

All I know is that 8#12 is a it overplayed and that 42 #5 is extremely difficult and that OP. 2 #1 is quite easy in comparison. Sonata #10 is very difficult if you aren't good at trills.
For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

There once was a topic where several people made lists of these sonata's according to difficulty. Use the search.
