Beethoven Sonata Opus 2, no 3 (second movt.)

 Which movement typically tends to give the piano student more problems? The first one or the second one? Which is slightly more difficult to execute? ;D

As ever, it depends on the strengths and weaknesses of the student.

First of all: I LOVE THIS PIECE!

Second of all, j_menz said it: It totally depends on the student. The difficulties are very different ones. The best way to find out is to have him/her give each movement a try. It should be immediately noticeable if 1. The beginning of the 1st movement gives technical trouble. 2. They understand the basic feel of the 2nd movement's phrasing.

Also, for the 1st movement: 24-15 is the best fingering for the thirds IMO.
