Hi,I'm new!I'm 17y.o. and I,m from Greece!Anyone else from Greece?I've been obsessed with Beethoven since I saw the film "Immortal Beloved",4 years ago!Strange thing,but I became interested in his life firstly,then his music!Anyway,he encouraged me to learn to play the piano,when I was 13,but only for 2 years!I stopped even practising,as I had to study for the university entrance exams,but I want to continue!Which Beethoven work would you advise me to start with?

Hard to say without hearing you play! After 2 years of study you should be able to do the 2 sonatinas, though be warned they are of doubtful authenticity. The trouble is that most of Beethoven's piano music (especially the sonatas) is very advanced. Good luck!

Peter,
You aren't referring to the Opus 49 sonatas, are you? G major and minor? These are sometimes called sonatinas...

No, Op.49 is genuine Beethoven, though he was not pleased at their being published. The G minor is a real gem! The 2 sonatinas I was referring to are Anh.5

Have you seen the music of Anh 5 Peter? I've a recording by Jando on Naxos of these pieces. Though they are simple, I would say they they are not unbeethovenian in this performance. I would nod more in the direction of them being authentic.
