Who can play all the Sonatas?

[Pianoprodigy]

I can play all the Beethoven sonatas and I have only played three years. Who else can play them all.

Who else on this site can claim not to be able to play any of them, like me?

[Nightklavier]

I can play a movement from just one sonata, so there Anyone want to try and guess which sonata?

You must tell us more about yourself and your amazing achievement Pianoprodigy. Have you recorded them?

And do you have a bridge I might be able to purchase?

I can play the opening two bars of the Fifth Symphony on the piano - with one finger. Beat that!

I thought you only needed a bridge for the violin, Chris? Oh ...... I get it!

I'm afraid I showed no aptitude for the piano. The limit of my musical ability is a Bouree in E minor by JS Bach on the classical guitar. Apart from that it's strumming a few simple blues licks. Oh well...

If you can play all 32 after just three years, then "hats off gentlemen, a genius!"

I guess the same movement I can play aswell..the first movement from the sonata op.27 nr.2 in C sharp minor, ze moonlight.I will hopefully within this year start to learn the op.28 sonata and the pathetique op.13..but these may perhaps be for the next pianoyear.To play beethoven correctly is hugely difficult...to me it is anyway..I'm now starting to struggle with polyphonics and my liking of bach is increasing and decreasing in rapid moments.Currently I'm tackling the zweistimmige inventionen, I'm playing the 8th right now and will be playing the second in c minor hereafter...difficult...but once you've mastered one...a Great joy.

It wouldn't by any chance be the first movement of the Hammerklavier? :P

Being an amateur my sonata playing consists of the first mm of The Moonlight, second movement of PS#8 and am now working on the 2nd movement of Opus 49 No. 2.
Pianoprodigy do tell us how you learned such a difficult feat in such a comparatibly short time! Your name maybe explains it all!

i can only play the first movement of moonlight sonata , the others are really difficult , and it needs many years to master it.
this web site:http://www.geocities.com:0080/Vienna/2192/biograph.html
shows brendel playing the integral of beethoven sonata , he is also speaking about the difficulties of playing beethoven correctly!

What? On the CD player, no doubt.

Yes I thought myself this must be some kind of wind-up! But I can play the whole works of AC/DC on guitar for what it's worth.

Dear Pianoprodigy. You have my admiration. -I dare hope you talking strict piano sonatas ; Couldn't bare it otherwise. The piano sonata op.6 must be a tricky thing, all the same. / sinc. G. ~
Ps. No, I can't play anyone anyhow. Period.
