Thanks for the great explanation. I consider myself as one of the students that plays above my level. So thanks for the suggestions for the intermediate pieces.
Why not consider individual movements, especially when they are commonly taught and performed by students at recitals? This would open up the first and most famous movement: the "Moonlight" sonata (second movement is also quite playable). Then there's the adagio cantabile of the Pathetique (my vote for most beautiful, for it is indeed cantabile--one can hum it). Just curious because I played the opening movement of the "Moonlight" for a recital when I was fourteen or fifteen
Yes - I forgot to say (but do mention on the blog) that the Moonlight is one that doesn't fit the mold. I certainly teach individual movements. I would still argue that the 2nd movement of the Pathetique is harder than any I list in this video.

Hi, great video, you mention “easier Haydn sonatas,” could you share those? I’m looking for a piece for a student who is auditioning for piano minor at college and One of the three pieces has to be a first Movement of a classical Sonata, it can’t be Op. 49 or Op. 79 of Beethoven, he does not have much time to learn a new sonata 1st movement, thanks! (he knows the first movement of Beethoven Op. 49 G major, his level is that he can play from memory, E, minor and C-sharp, minor nocturnes, Chopin, as examples)
Question. Off subject if I may. (Thank you for your wonderful videos) I am a piano teacher to my children and I am wondering what are your thoughts on teachings scales? Do you start with pentacles or do you go right into major 8 note scales? How long do you stay on one octave before you move to multiple. Thanks!
I do teach pentascales, mostly because I like for students to learn to transpose to other keys early on. I know some trackers disagree with this approach. I think either way is fine.
Yes, I have definitely been planning on Haydn, but keep getting sidetracked to other things. Do you have favorite intermediate / upper intermediate movements?
@@JannaWilliamson Some that come in mind. Sonata in C Hob XVI:35(any of the 3 movements but the 1 one would be great since its a workhorse standard), Sonata in G HOV XVI:8 1st movement, Sonata NO. 50 in D Major HOB XVI; 37 1st movement and Sonata No 38 in F Major Hob VI:23(1st or 2nd movement) . Honestly anything Haydn would be valuable.
@@MarkWeathers-vr6mr thanks! One of my students just started the F Major, so I'll put that in the queue to record in a few weeks (it's been a while since I taught it!) I'll see about doing another easier movement in the meantime. I taught the C Major XVI:35 too many times a while ago and got really tired of it. 🤣
If you go to the linked blog post, you'll see that I have that one in the next category, which I've called "Early True Sonatas." I love teaching that sonata! www.jannawilliamson.com/blog/beethoven-sonatas-for-upper-intermediate-and-early-advanced-study
i littarly learnt 1st movement by myself without knowing anything about piano and i dont even own a piano or org i just learnt from the tutorials and i started playing really insane in 3 months
@@krishtchin4324 like i was staying at school for 3 hours every day and learning that plus i was at the piano sittin there and playing iy everybreak in school after school i was pluing at every single cafe with piano i know and yes that may not something to be proud of it for you but it is for me

I would suggest looking at the G Major Hob.XVI:27 or the C Major Hob.XVI:35. Hope that helps!

Would you be willing to create more Haydn piano sonatas? I’m a big fan of Haydn

Hi! Where would you rank the op 14 no 1?

if you don’t own a piano, how do you learn it and know it? i wouldn’t say that it’s something to be proud of either..

Please what's the names and numbers of these sonatas
