Guest Anders Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Mozart's facile. jk :P Beethoven's Op 106 in B flat is definitely the best sonata ever, in my humble oppinion. I've listened 21910823 times to that long, demonic and dissonant fugue fugue! Mmm... that's sexual pleasure right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not Tchaikovsky, that's Tartini. It's Baroque, not Romantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my bad dude, I only have it on a burned disc, I don't have any other info on it, I let a friend of mine listen to it who is well versed in music and he told me it was Tchaikovsky. but anyway, never too late to learn And why the double post?

robinjessome Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 BAHAHAHAHA!!! I read the title as 'Favorite Sinatra' ... Was about to say that 'Live at the Sands' with the Basie band was one of my favorites when I figured it out.... Oops... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not transcribed for flute and piano, it was written for flute and piano, later rewritten as a dual opus number for violin. It's opus number 94 and 94b (after combining the two, they were seperate numbers for a while). It is a great piece, one of his best chamber pieces. Prokofiev wrote several amazing pieces in the same key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hmmm. I like Mozart's sonata in A K.331. Very cool. I like Sonatina in F by Beethoven. Dont know if that counts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Can't say I've listened to tons so far, but one of my all-time favorites has been Brahms's Trio for Horn, Piano, and Violin. (Sonata for trio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Br. Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 There are so many. IT's hard to say which is best. The Hammerklavier is pretty sweet. Beethoven's No. 12 in A flat is good. No.32 in C minor is amazing. Yeah, either the Hammerklavier or No. 32 is my favourite sonata. Have yet to hear Brahms' though. I'm sure they're pretty good although his later piano music is probably better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William K. Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 As of now, it is the 'Arpeggione' Sonata by Schubert. Fantastic piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violinfiddler Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Brahms' sonatas were Op. 1-3 C major, F# Minor, and F minor respectively. Maybe piano sonatas, but not the violin sonatas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Carey Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I have a lot of favorite sonatas... it's very difficult to pick one. However, the one that stands out in my mind right now is Godowsky's sonata in e minor. If anyone hasn't heard this, I suggest they get a recording! It's definitely one of my favorite works of late Romantic piano music, and it contains simply gorgeous melodic lines, powerfully dramatic passages, intense virtuosity, and perhaps one of the most interesting structures I've ever seen. Among my other favorites are Liszt's b minor, Beethoven's Op. 111, Sorabji's Sonata No. 1, and Ives' Concord. This barely scratches the surface though.

Alex Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I like the Mozart Piano sonatas K.330-K.332. But my FAVORITE sonata is Schubert's Sonata in Bb Major D.960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
