Thanks for the web site Sophie...wow this is really hard

Nick, I read your "did Beethoven have three hands?" thing and all the replies and no one noticed. There is a mistake in your music. I don`t know if you picked up on this but the top measure should have the B and C connected by a roll (a jagged line that indicated the notes are played in succession not at the same time).
I am a piano player and have played all three movements of that piece (Mvt 3 is my favorite piece of all time) I was woundering, have you finished it all yet?
Hey, has anyone here played Apposionata mvt 3. I am learning that now, it is killer. Actually, it is worse than moonlight mvt 3 if you can believe that.

I have been woorking on the whole sonata for almost a year, and the reach in the 1st movement can be difficult if you dont have huge hands. Hit the lower b`s with the left hand, play the rh b and THEN the rh c quickly.

Can anybody help me with a couple of bits of notation? I understand that x before a note means double sharp - but in meas. 27 and 34, it appears before what is already an F# from the key signature. So do I play F### i.e G#? Or F## i.e. G? Also, in meas. 35, the first note shows a natural sign, a sharp sign and then F, which is of course sharp anyway - and I haven`t a clue what note I`m looking for here! Any help v. gratefully received!

Right here! I`ve played the whole Appassionata sonata. It`s a nice show-off piece.

I wish I had someone to showoff for. They would be knocked out by that piece. That piece is yet another of Beethoven`s that exchanges accuracy for passionate expression, which s good for an inaccurate player such as myself.

the natural followed by the sharp in 35 means play F sharp. It is taking the F double sharp from the previous measure and reverting it back to F# by making it a natural first (that comes up a lot). As far as m`s 27 and 34 are concerned, I believe you JUST play F## you don`t add the x to the key signature just play it as you see it.

can you pelase send me the sheet music? in my email :

No it isn`t what it seems! the lower octave is held from the bar before. this is why you can`t hear them on the recording.

yes he did.. he had three hands

Yes Beethoven did have 3 hands. What planet did you come from? everyone knows that

fool

Those notes are not four octs apart, only 3. Even if it`s five octaves, it should never post a problem, caz u can always split the chord, if you have much smaller hands. Well, anyway, U have to use yr right thumb on the lower C note, and stretch yr finger 5 to the C note. This shouldn`t post any problem, as it is merely a compound 2nd apart. If u really can`t reach, then split the rh chord, but give more prominence to the top melody note though. The lh is a tied chord from bar 15. That`s why yr not hearing any sound. I hope this help.
