The best Beethoven sonata set
on: February 22, 2012, 05:34:33 AM
Basically like any other 'favourite Beethoven sonata' poll, except you just have to vote the set you like the most.

For me it is op 27 and Op 31. Well, I don't like all of Op 31 but the tempest sonata and no 3 convinced me enough to get my vote. Op 27 has to be the best ever. Both sonatas are in my favourite sonatas list, currently.

good call on op 31 no 3, probably my favorite sonata as a whole work (i like other separate movements but as a single extended work that one is pretty incredible i listen to it all the time never get tired of it)

Why is the Op. 27 set winning? The only "good" thing in it, IMO, is 3rd movement from the 2nd sonata.

I love 27/1, 27/2 not so much

I went for Op 10. Nos. 2 and 3 are my love, and No. 1 is great too.  :-*

I love the Sonatas Op.31 No.1, No.2 "Tempest" and also like the 3rd one. So, I voted for this set.

Of the Op.27, I love the Moonlight, but don't like the other one so much. And for this reason I can't say that this is my favourite set.

I really like Op. 2, especially Nos. 1 and 2. No. 3 is good as well, but I don't like it as much.

Op. 10 is my favorite (maybe it's just because of no. 3 ;))
