Beethoven Sonata

on: July 04, 2011, 04:39:25 PM

Hello!

I recently finished Beethoven Sonata Op.90 (all movements) and I was wondering what sonata should I play. I decided to play another Beethoven. Please write some grade 8 and 8+ ( but not the op.100' sonatas because they are relly hard).

Current repertoire:
Bach Toccata in E minor
Beethoven Sonata op.110
Rachmaninov Corelli Variations
Liszt Paganini Etudes No.2 and 6.
Strauss Burlesque in d minor, Brahms piano concerto No.2.

Decide yourself! The person that would know best if yourself! Or, if you're a, what I call, "dependent musician", consult your teacher

Dear Vlad,
the immediate ideas are opp. 2/1, 10/1, 13, 14/1, 26, 27/2, and 54. If you feel more adventurous (or bold), I'll tell you to try something from opus 31 (number two is the most famous, but numbers one and three are fabulous works as well).

By the way, if you are into grades and stuff, I suggest you take a look at the diploma levels of some board (ABRSM, Trinity, LCM). If you did play Beethoven's opus 90, the graded steps (even grade

are behind you by now.

Best regards,
Jay.

les adieux op.81a or op.31 no.1?
i feel appassionata and waldstein should be categorised together with the op 100+ sonatas, all of them are devilish (i have done appassionata, very tough.) but if you feel you are ready then go for it!
