There is another "Appassionata"???

[beethovenian]

Could you tell me how many "Appassionata" piano sonata are there in Beethoven's works?
I hear there're two.It's true?And where's the other?

Thank you.

There is only one Appassionata - Op.57

You may be thinking of Op. 13 - the "Pathetique" sonata. Pathetique means passionate, which sounds like "Appassionata." Or, you may be thinking of "Pastoral." The Op. 28 sonata is named this, and so is the Op. 68 symphony.

I have to agree with Ludwig and throw in The Waldstein for good measure. Of course, all 32 are the greatest!!

Yes, that's right, I forgot. I don't like the Waldstein that much though =\

WHAT??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing and that 2nd movement is something else, much as I love the Andante Favori.

I've heard somewhere that the final 3 sonatas are quite good also.

That's right, Op. 111 is the best.

Hunter Sonata? - If you mean Op.31 no.3, the nickname 'the Hunt' is not widely used, the same goes for Op.31 no.2 sometimes known as 'the Tempest'.
