Favorite Beethoven Sonata

[kevonthegreatpianist]

I want your guys' opinion. My favs are the Op 2 No.1, Patheique, Op 14 No.1, Funeral March, Op.27 No.1, Moonlight Sonata, Waldstein, Hammerklavier, and the Op.122 (or the last sonata Beethoven composed) IMO Hammerklavier and Op.122 are my true fav sonatas

As of right now, the Tempest sonata has my love

Op.122 (or the last sonata Beethoven composed)

The last Sonata Beethoven composed is his Op 111. Op 122 is his Bundeslied, which has no piano part whatsoever.

I knew that.

Chopinlover01, I've never listened to the Tempest, but I'm gonna give a try.

I like the first movement of Beethoven's Op.111. I don't know why Beethoven's regarded as a Classical pianist! His sonatas are far from the Classical era. I know composers like Hadyn and Mozart influenced him, but mostly, he was the introducer of the Romantic era.

Chopin's Sonata 2 was influenced by Beethoven Op.111. They have a lot of similarties.

Easiest decision. Beethoven Sonata No.18 Op.31 No.3 in E-flat major. Nicknamed "The Hunt."

Pathetique

The first mov of the Patheique is my fav. I like the Rondo, too.
