As above. Neutral and out-of-point answers which are not answering question will be reported (–10 points) and stand NO chance of being chosen best answer. Vague answers stand less chance of being chosen as best answer. Remember to state the composer's name, main work’s title, title of the movement, _th movement and your own reasons why.

--------------------------------------
*NOTE: This is NOT a homework/assignment/project question which I would be benefiting academic grades from your answer and I'm NOT a music student in a music school/university/conservatory. I'm a 30-year-old working adult (in a non-music related industry) who had some paid private music lessons as a teenager (purely as a hobby without any academic grades or points) but stopped taking music lessons due to pursuing further academic studies (non-music related). From time to time I studied some musical forms analysis from music reference books on my own and I'm always interested to discuss, talk & read about anything related to classical music as it is my personal interest.

**Classical music as in the classical music GENRE. I’m not restricting to only classical era/period music like Mozart's music. Of course, you may also include classical era/period music if you like. I'm clarifying as some members misinterpret "classical music" as "classical era music" (eg; Mozart's and Haydn's music).

***Not being paranoid but just want to spell things out clearly upfront.

****Too confrontational? Why should you be affected? Unless you're not genuinely wanting to answer questions. That means you just want to chat and misbehave. For insincere users, even if I don't report you, other users will also report you. Genuine answerers won't be affected by what disclaimers I put in my questions.

*****Too aggressive? I have no choice. Too many nonsensical trolls and "do-your-own-homework" answerers around. Even polite and nice askers get "do-your-own-homework" kind of answer, I've seen it too many times. Genuine answerers who wanted to help won't be affected by those and will be rewarded by best answer awarded.

have you ever played Beethovens "Moonlight sonata"? there is a similar dilema in it except the triplets as well as the melody are both played in the right hand, the left mostly just provides bass in octaves. what you need to do is play the right hand notes on the first note of the triplet and then exactly between the second and third notes of the triplet. 1----2----3----1----2----3.........lef... 1-------2-------1------2.............r...
