Beethoven Sonata *movements* order of difficulty, please help.
on: May 02, 2017, 02:27:42 AM
Hi,
I've fallen into a terrible piano slump. I just can't seem to summon up any interest in playing. So I thought I would go back to my darling Beethoven and tackle the sonata movements in order of increasing difficulty. I know there are plenty of lists of the order of the entire sonatas, but I want to tackle them movement by movement and I can't seem to find such a list. If I'm mistaken, please point me to the list.
I've made a list of the movements, and, with the help of pianosyllabus.com, ranked almost all of them, but some don't appear on any syllabus, so I am in the dark.
The missing movements are... I've adopted the pianosyllabus convention of numbering them Op.(No).movement

OK...I found a thread on this forum debating which were the 10 hardest movements, from which I inferred some levels for those, and I inferred a level for the No. 1 2nd movement from the RCM syllabus, which leaves....
