This is my first performance of the first Beethoven piano sonata. These recordings were made for evaluation of advanced piano playing skills in order to obtain college credit through Thomas Edison State College. The course objectives specify a required skill level of such a degree as could be reasonably expected of a student after five years of study. I hope I have reasonably accomplished this goal, though I certainly plan to record these pieces again (with far greater competence).
Here are my performances of the movements of the first Beethoven piano sonata as they happened on Monday, November 16. I am indebted to Mr. Donald Ryan and Mr. Aldo Mancinelli for the helpful instruction they have given to me concerning this work. This performance does not do justice to their teaching. I am also grateful to Mr. Bryan Elmore of the Saied Music Company in Tulsa for permitting me to use the piano and hall.
