Worst Theme to a Sonata Imaginable
on: September 13, 2012, 06:18:48 PM
I want to nominate Tchaikovskys OP 37 -The theme sounds like the sound children make when they mock you -Ner ner Ner -ner ner ner na ner -

Really awful -

If anyone can come up with a worst theme I would be shocked -
When a search is in progress, something will be found.

i won't outright call this the worst but i really have tried to like this, i just don't understand the fascination. especially after intro around 2:35 , it sounds like the the lone ranger is about to come on.

Try his second instead! And stop picking on Bobby.  :P

Cautionary note on the general subject, though. The quality of the theme doesn't necessarily bear on the quality of the work. Not a sonata, but case in point is Diabelli's waltz, the shortcomings of which Beethoven managed to rather spectacularly overcome.
