Mozart sonatas
on: February 11, 2005, 02:38:00 PM
Hello

Which of de sonata's of mozart are the easiest  ? Except for the on in C-Major Sonata Facile.
Which pieces of Mozart should you play before you start the Sonata's.

I'm  playing piano for about 4 years.


Thanks,

Rene

all are pretty delicate, you need exceptional quality of the sound (quite tough after only 4 years of piano, but then again...)
