you know the drill!

fur elise
moonlight 1st
rondo alla turca
canon in d
op 9 no 2 nocturne

just as always. Not per se "bad," but we're just saying they're OVERrated
last 3 schubert sonatas and piano trios are something else

I wouldn't say the Moonlight 1st is overrated. Just overplayed -  . In the context of historical timeline, it is shocking. Magnificent in its defiance, and strangeness of mood.
