Difficulty of Mozart Sonatas

[mikeyg]

Unlike what appears to be a majority of the people in this forum, I happen to like Mozart.  I recently learned to play Sonata K300 in f major (although I am still bringing the 3rd movement up to speed), and really enjoy it.  I am interested in learning another Sonata.  What do you think would be a good sonata, either mozart or perhaps beethoven (not scarlatti), to go to next. 

Thanks

I'm new to this forum, do people here really dislike Mozart?! Surely not. Anyway, what have you got against Scarlatti? To me the man is a god. Chopin and Horowitz would have agreed.

It's just that i'm interested in a longer work than a Scarlatti Sonata.  They are nice, but i want something that will take me a while.

I'm learning K. 332 right now, it's a gorgeous piece- why don't you try that one out? About the same in tech. difficulty as K. 330 I think, and very very beautiful musically. K. 333 is also a great one. And the Fantasie-Sonata is AMAZING, I want to learn that one next! The A minor sonata is another really good one.... (these are all around ABRSM grade 8 to 8+, if my memory serves me right.)
I love all of the Sonatas, really! Those are just some of my very favoritest ones.
Good luck w/ whatever you choose!

Glissando, I agree that 332 is very nice, because it is the one that i just worked on.  I accidentially wrote the new Mozart-Verzeichnis (1837) number, which is K 300k as opposed to the old one, which is K 332.

k576 has been on the LTCL (Licentiate of Trinity College, London) syllabus for years.  I think it is the most difficult of the lot.

Yeah right. 533 is the hardest.

IMO K576 is the hardest..
k310 has some tricky passages too..

K. 533 is really good AND perhaps the hardest of the lot and I think it would be ideal for you to try out!

Hi all,
I have played Sonata K.545 in C. It's not that hard and it sounds good.
Have anyone played it??
