Answer 2

Judging from your repertoire, you obviously play at quite an advanced level so I will admit being a little surprised by your question.



Be that as it may, presuming your technique is well developed, I would probably choose Beethoven's Sonata No. 26 ''Les adieux'', op.86a and Mozart's Sonata in C minor, K. 457. For something a bit more challenging, I would go with Beethoven's Sonata No. 21 'Waldstein'', op.53 and Mozart's Sonata in D major, K. 576.



I hope you have a great time practicing these masterworks!



Best regards,

Answer 3

Well I don't play so I have no idea if these are right for your level. These, however, are my favorites for listening - Mozart's piano sonatas number 8 and number 11 and for Beethoven again piano sonata number 8 and also number 15. I can't speak to their difficulty but they are absolutely lovely and captivating to listen to imho. There was a similar question asked here about Beethoven's piano sonatas at any rate. The Best Answer to that question goes into a lot of detail and addresses the perceived difficulty of several of his pieces. I won't steal that answer by duplicating it for you here but will provide the link to the original question below. I hope that's appropriate and that it helps.

Answer 4

Thats a very high level. I think you can play avery work of Beethoven and Mozart since the pieces of their times generelly aren't as heavy as Liszt or Chopin!

Answer 6

My favorite Mozart piano pieces are Concerto #9 and #14. Very melodic and intricate!

Answer 7

It depends on the level that you're are working at, but I would recommend the moonlight sonata. The different movements of this piece vary in level quite a lot, so it shouldn't matter what level you're working at.
