Help with Beethoven Sonata Op.2 No.2 first movement

[aaronpetit]

Hey everyone, I am learning the second Beethoven piano sonata in A major for my college audition classical work (fall 2014). I have some questions of technique/musicality decisions: How do you recommend doing/ practicing the following?

#1- Smooth 5-finger patterens (in the first few bars)
#2- Getting the right sound at bars 48-58. (its so dry and exposed)
#3-Interperting the long silence (3 bar in 2nd ending of Exposition)
#4-Smoothing out the Eb-Dom 7th at bars 139-141 (It's a stretch and hard to get it in sinc.)
#5-Keeping the line smooth with the grace note 10ths in the development. (I can play them in time but they sound harsh and the grace note always sounds too loud. Its also hard to to be tense here)
#6-Fingering for L.H. bar 286

K thats it for now thanks. -Aaron P

You can start reading this, you might get a few ideas from it:

(Not about fingering, though, but about expression and interpretation.)
