 | A Worthwhile Challenge by Rachel Sterk on January 11th, 2008 |
| I have been practicing this piece for the past year and a half. Nothing has been as great a challenge for me as a pianist for the past fourteen years; at the same time, no other piece has provoked such powerful emotions (1st movement), such beautiful pondering (2nd movement), and such playful elegance (the final movement). My favorite movement, by far, is the first. This movement provokes every possible feeling in the sphere of pathos (suffering)--i.e. depression, adrenaline, occasional reluctant acceptance, and an overall raging denial. The most powerful expression of human mortality ever set to music. |

 | Quite a good piece by anonymous on November 8th, 2007 |
| it is sort of difficult at first, except the second movement. I would rate it five if it wasn't so sad. Well as most of Beethoven's works are. The third movement is sooo awesome!!! Why would they have created a rap version of it in the first place??:> |

| Obituaries Theme by Yolanda. on July 22nd, 2007 |
| I remember the very somber parts of this composition being played as a backdrop to the obituary announcements on a radio station back home in Jamaica as a child. I have never forgot it. Back then it was tied to death in my mind, now I think it's just a beautiful piece of music. |

| Best of Beethoven by Allianne on March 17th, 2007 |
| Of all the classic pieces, I must say that is one of my favorites, both to listen to and to learn. Playing up to speed is a challlenge, but worth it! |

| Skillfull and Beautiful by Anthony Moussa (MEMBER) on December 21st, 2006 |
| This was the piece that when my teacher heard me play it she said "I think I'm done teaching you"
It is so awesome and grand! |

| One of Beethoven's best by Desmond Schipper on November 24th, 2006 |
| The first movement opens with slow and powerful chords, then becomes much faster, redeveloping several ideas in more advanced ways. The second movement is the eye of the storm, a gentle, flowing river of passion. The third movement is a technical masterpiece. It has incredible scales. It took me a week to learn it!!! |

It's a very difficult piece at first but once you get the hang of it, you will never want to stop playing it.Beethoven is a masterful artist full of passion and love for the beauty of music.He is one of my top favorite composers. |
