Beethoven sonata

[cabbynum]

Op.31 no.2 is my second favorite sonata from Beethoven and its attainable by me.
Op.57 is my favorite, it'll be a hell of a stretch to get done.
Op.111 is 3rd favorite sonata, it's a bit of a stretch but not as much as op.57
Op.53 would be a stretch but again doable, but I don't like c major.

This is mostly a poll of which one you like the most out of these.

Maybe someday ill get over my social anxiety and ask my teacher if we can switch. But for now, moonlight it is.

"but I don't like c major"? Dude, come on... op 53 is also much more difficult than people think. It sounds rather easy, but I'd go as far as saying that it's on his top 5 most difficult ones. There are rather few notes, so people who knows music will listen to everything you do, and able to hear everything.


And oh, the op 53 is barely in c major anyway....

[cabbynum]

That was mostly a joke. Anyway though, it is a very hard piece but the appassionata would be harder. And so would op.111 in my opinion

[pianoman53]

How can you have an opinion if you haven't played any of them?

[cabbynum]

I've played the first movement of op.57
I've read through a lot of op.53
I've read through a lot of op.31 no.2
As well as op.111

Doing that gives me a pretty good idea of if it is attainable by me. I'm not gonna go based off of what people say are the harder ones or the easier ones. I'm gonna go off of what is harder and easier for me.

[pianoman53]

so why do you even ask, since you know it perfectly well?

[theholygideons]

Because, in fact he wants to play hammerklavier.

[pianoman53]

But in C major, obviously

There is no reason for you to get so snippy. I was just asking what your favorite was of the sonatas I listed, also any interesting points some people could bring about these sonatas.
I have pretty much chosen which sonata I'm gonna learn, but there are probably things I'm not thinking about.
I don't know any of it perfectly, I just know how to judge difficulty for myself.
