Beethoven N' Concert

[beethovenopus2no3movt2]

I want to know if Beethoven ever performed any of his piano sonatas in puplic? Did Beethoven write them and leave them on his pianoforte? I can't find any records or sources or facts confirming that he actually performed any of them in his time. I would really like to know if there is a good book on Beethoven out there that explains this.

He wrote them for his friend and lovers and in honor of people.

Then clearly you haven't looked very hard.

There are stupid questions, there are really stupid questions, then there's this question? Can I remind you that this part of the forum is for professionals, teachers and serious students who aspire to reaching a professional standard! I cannot believe that you do not know that Beethoven wrote piano sonatas primarily for himself to perform, and he only stopped playing them in public once his deafness became so severe he could no longer perform.

I also cannot believe that you cannot find the information from a library or indeed wikipedia? Are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really? You are becoming incredibly annoying with your ill thought out, naive questions! 

Furthermore, you seem to be very good at asking very open ended questions but not contributing very much, if anything at all, to the wider discussion yourself! You never even seem to respond to anyone else's posts which have arisen from your tantalizing questions!!!

When will you ever learn?!  The apostraphe when used to shorten a word is substituted in the missing letters.  Therefore, NOT "beethoven n' concerts", but "beethoven 'n concerts".  Actually, that might be "beethoven 'n' concerts", though i've never seen it that way.  You see?  "I've" means "i have".  The apostraphe substitutes the letters "ha".  Please don't repeat this mistake again.  I can get very angry...

You've probably picked up from my recent posts that I am also starting to get extremely irritated by this Beethovenopus2no3mov2 character! I also agree with you that they have suddenly gone really quiet lately, haven't they?
