Which Mozart sonata?
on: August 08, 2014, 08:43:24 PM
I've switched piano teachers from one who dictated which pieces I should play to one who wants me to select my own pieces. 

I find in listening to recordings of myself playing that my sense of "beat" is lacking. I also love Mozart.

I'm wondering which of the Mozart sonatas who be could for me to study?

Thanks!

Definitely helps to know a bit of your repertoire. We can't suggest anything if we don't know how good you are.

If this is your FIRST Mozart Sonata, you can't go wrong with K545...

Bach WTC Fugue 2
Chopin 17/4
          32/1
          70/2

I'm doing K570 right now and it is a blast. If you want to work on feeling your beat - the third movement is a rondo (or at least it seems rondo-like) that really makes you feel the beat with the staccatos and accents.
