Sonata Help!!!

[la_leggierezza]

hello!!

I have to chose a new sonata. The last sonata I played was Beethoven´s "Moonlight" (complete!!!).
I ´m playing Bachs Partita nº1, Chopin etudes op10 nº5, op25 nº1,nº2 and nº7, Debussy´s "Les collines D´Anacapri", Liszt "soneto 104 del petrarca", Shumann´s Papillons and Chopin´s Nocturne op 27nº1.

So, which sonata should I play next? I have a preference for Beethoven ones...

thanks for advise

[kreso]

I would suggest you either op.2/3 C major or maybe E flat major op.31/3 (my favourites).. these are virtuozo sonatas but if you wish some more musicaly difficult then you can choose op.28 Pastoral or op.31/2 d minor

[imbetter]

Either Appasionata, Waldstein, or Pathetique. Those are my favorites


~Chopin Jr.~

[burstroman]

Op.7, Op.54, or Op.90.

[sharon_f]

Op. 7, I concur!

[dnephi]

Op. 79 in G

[kreso]

Op. 79 in G

this is too easy I think on this level...

[pianowolfi]

Op. 27 no. 1 in E^b is very beautiful too. The sibling of the so called moonlight (Which name leads to misinterpretation btw)

[beethoven2]

Pathetiquel; that is what i did.

[phil13]

Either Appasionata, Waldstein, or Pathetique. Those are my favorites


~Chopin Jr.~

I believe that Appassionata and Waldstein are perhaps a bit much for this level.

Out of the 32 Sonatas, here are my suggestions:


Op.78 in F# major
Op.28 in D major
Op.22 in Bb major
Op.90 in E minor
Op.2 No.2 in A major
Op.31 No.1 in G major

Phil

[verywellmister]

Op.28 in D major
Op.22 in Bb major
Op.90 in E minor
Op.2 No.2 in A major
Op.31 No.1 in G major

Phil

those are good.  i'm doing 2/2 myself.

op.31 no.2 and 3 are musically difficult and virtuosic but are really good.  Op.7 and Op.10/3 are also good.

Either Appasionata, Waldstein, or Pathetique. Those are my favorites


~Chopin Jr.~

I wouldn't recommend those since they're a little overplayed.

Opp.53 and 57 take 1st place for difficulty by far, Op.81a coming in second to them.

Op.26 is the easiest.

For your level? As I said before, go with Op.28 or Op.90, or if you want a bigger challenge maybe Op.22

Personally, I don't think that it gets any better than Op.28 and Op.90, save for possible the late sonatas and Op.7. The 'Pastorale' Sonata happens to be my favorite, and I'm learning it right now.

I'd go for the appassionata,, I don't think it's a big step from moonlight.

Believe me, it is.

-op28

  Is a great piece to play after the moonlight sonata, a reall contrast a breath of fresh air.

[la_leggierezza]

and what about Tempest (op31 nº2). no opinions?

i ve narrowed once more my choices and in this moment they are:

op22
op26
op32/1
op53 (perhaps too difficult)
op57
op90

thanks for your replies

i m eager to read more opinions from you...
