Favorite Classical Piano Sonatas
on: December 24, 2015, 01:48:26 AM
What are your favorite piano sonatas of the classical period?
Come on, you gotta have one... short and sweet? Grand and complex? Imperial and regal? Or rustic?

Mine is Grand Sonata op 7 Beethoven.  I aspire to learn that one day. It will be a huge two year undertaking for me.

To the tune of the opening theme of the last movement...  "Opus Seven, it sounds like heaven".  A real gem.
