i laughed out loud a little bit when i read op 110 described as easy but i see your point here: easy is a vague and relative word. I'm actually learning op 110 right now and for me, its quite the challenge! I agree with the last post that you should take some time to listen to the sonatas yourself and choose one with your teacher that best resonates with you AND with your program. The first reply also mentioned to steer clear of op 13 and 27/2 and i agree - better to go for something a less obvious for the judges' sake! bonne chance!
Why did wait till now to pick a Sonata? Might as well try Op. 109 or 111. As easy as the Sonatas they others have suggested----you need to play it and live with it so you understand the stucture---I could not just learn a Beethoven Sonata for an exam and hope it will be passable.

you're joking...are'nt you... quirky stated that he/she has little time left and besides, it is not wise to learn op.109 or 111 when one has'nt even learn the more basic, easier beethoven sonatas yet.If you say it's so easy, why don't you post a recording? The late Beethoven sonatas are alot harder then the earlier ones
If you already played these, the two last movements from Op. 27-1 would be a possibility... But I agree that you should talk to your teacher and also listen to the recordings and sight-read (if you haven't done it already) some sonatas. You have the 2-movement sonatas op. 54, op. 79 and op. 90 (but this last one is a little bit harder and I don't know you as a pianist). Good luck!
Actually, op. 79 has 3 movements: Presto alla Tedesca, Andante and Rondo
dear dkainoa:the adjective "easy" don't seem to fit opus 110, isn't true? i think that every pianist have a good time (and many headaches) studying it, but you will certainly agree it worths. best!
It was a typing mistake... I meant op. 78!
