These next two Sonatas from Book II cannot be rated along with the Others.
That is because they are called Leichte Sonatas which means that they were
written by Beethoven specifically for his friends or family.
They are short and they are nice and only have two movements.
I liked the first one - it was pleasant to play - and I had never heard
it before.
The second one I had heard before - and probably had played at least
parts of it - but I don't like it.
And here's why:
To me it is boring.
When I played it I felt as if my piano teacher was standing over me forcing
me to play it - like a mother forces her child to eat his vegetables.
To me every f*ing note is boring from the first note to the last.
But do I think the second Sonata - and the first one - are Perfect?
Yes - I do. From the first note to the very last.
Well - Beethoven wrote them - didn't he?
~~~
But before I closed the book I saw which Sonata is next - and I can't wait
until tomorrow to read over it. I had a piano student when I was still teaching
piano who could have been a Concert Pianist - and when I started 'teaching'
him he had already begun to work on this. And let me tell you folks - this
Sonata is Good.
And I said more than once that I should have paid him to come and take piano
lessons so great was the enjoyment I got out of just sitting there and listening to him
play.
He's studying for his Doctorate at present - gonna be a Composer.
