The complete 24 Beethoven sonatas

[tds]

If Beethoven had indeed written only two dozens piano sonatas, which eight sonatas did you not mind letting go? best, tds

[steinwayguy]

None of them?

i can live without op. 49 no 1 and 2. tds

[aquariuswb]

Silly question, but here it goes...

Op. 31/1 (Sonata No. 16)
Op. 31/3 (Sonata No. 18)
Op. 14/1 (Sonata No. 9)
Op. 14/2 (Sonata No. 10)
Op. 49/1 (Sonata No. 19)
Op. 49/2 (Sonata No. 20)
Op. 10/2 (Sonata No. 6)
Op. 2/2 (Sonata No. 2)

I'd hate to part with any of these but I think they are probably my "least favorite" -- which means I still have 2-3 (at least) recordings of each. Damn this thread! I really like each of those sonatas I listed!

I love that piece!!!! It's one of my favorite obscure ones.

[Nightscape]

I'm actually playing 10/2 right now.  How could anybody not love the third movement?

[nomis]

Many of them. There may be something wrong with me, as I don't like many of his sonatas! I dare anyone to convert me.

Yes those are great sonatas -- they all are! But since I had to choose 8 to lose, those had to be on the list.
