Beethoven - easy sonata movements

[beethovenfan]

Hi,

I'm looking for easy sonata movments from Beethoven,

I played op. 27.2 (Mondschein) 1. Movements and op 2.1 and op. 49.2.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try Op. 79

[anda]

op. 14 no.1 (that was my 1st beethoven sonata, it's wonderful and not difficult at all)

[Rach3]

Try op. 10 no. 1 (1st. mov.). I think it was my first one.

[TheHammer]

Op. 49 no. 1 and 2 are easy as well as both op. 14 and op. 79
If you want to train parallel runs try op. 31/1 first mov. - quite easy and sounds great.
By the way, does it have to be a sonata? There are many other 'easy' Beethoven pieces (e.g. op. 51, or some Bagatelles).

Hi,

thanks.

Yes I want to play a sonata. I  allready played some Beethoven pieces and
I think I'm able to play difficult sonatas like op. 13 as well, but I want to play an easy movement, because on my oncles birthday I have to play. He likes Beethoven very much. But I have not the time to work to long on it. because I
have to learn many other pieces like Bach (WTK), Tschaikowsky and Debussy.

Bye

The first movement from Moonlight Sonata....then again Moonlight Sonata is quite an easy piece anyway....what grade/standard are you?

[beethovenfan]

Sorry, I didn't understand what you said.

In Germany it's difficult to say, what grade you have.
As I said before I play Tschaikowsky (The Seasons), Bach (WTC), Debussy (Children's Corner) and I already played op 2.1, some Schumann - pieces.

In our system from 1 - 6

1 very easy
2 easy (f.e. Mozart KV 545)
3 middle (f.e. Bach Little Preludes, some pieces from Jugendalbum (Schumann)
4 middle - difficult (some Nocturnes (Chopin) - op. 2.1, op. 14  (Beethoven)
5 difficult (Pathetique, Liebestraum (Liszt),
6 very difficult ( some Liszt Transcriptions,

I play pieces with the level 4 - 5.

Sorry James B,

now, after I read  your post a second time, I understood what you wanted to say, sorry, it's late and I had worked to much today, I think.

I already played the 1. Movement of the Mondscheinsonate.
It's a very nice piece. Movement 2 ist also quite easy I agree, but your can'nt say Movement 3 is also easy, or do you?
