-Let's hear it.Difficult to choose one! All Beethoven鈥檚 piano sonatas are master pieces, but some of them (mostly just because of their nick names) are better known than others.
My first choice is no. 32 (op.111), the last piano sonata in c-minor in 2 movements. The first movement, like many other earlier Beethoven鈥檚 works in c-minor (like 5th Symphony) has a tragic / fate-fighting character. The second movement in variation-form is to me the most spiritual movement of all Beethoven Sonatas. I know no other piece in piano literature to be more deep and profound than this mysterious slow movement which was indeed Beethoven鈥檚 fare well to piano sonata form.
My other clear choices are:
-No 29 in B flat major, (Hammerklavier)
-No 23 in F minor (Appassionata)
-No 31 in A-flat majorProbably the Waldstein Sonata. For me, it's one of the most brilliant compositions for the solo piano. When analyzing it you find out that it is incredibly complex, specially regarding the harmony. Check out this website for a nice analyisis of the first movement. http://www.teoria.com/articles/waldstein鈥?/a>
Sonata 8 (Pathetique)
I played movement 2 a while ago, and am currently working on movement 1.
Its such a dramatic, emotional peice. You can put your own emotion into it, and imagine what Beethoven's emotions were :)
The A flat with variations instead of a first movement The variations are just so clever, the slow movement dignified & the last movement a romp!
Moonlight Sonata because its sad but its like its telling a story in the music...I can hardly listen to it without feeling some kind of emotion..
Tempest Sonata (Movement 3) -because it sounds so pretty, and i like playing it on the piano.
It's a tie between no. 24 and 26.
no. 24 simply because it's beautiful
no. 26 well its beautiful, but I find the 3rd movement absolutely brilliant.
Opus 111. The first movement is very exciting, and the second movement is very beautiful.
opus 23, appasionate, because it's very dramatic and full of delicate rhythms.
