Preparing for the Technical Challenges of Early Beethoven Sonatas: A Teacher's Guide for Intermediate Piano Students with Suggested Repertoire

Beethoven's early sonatas have already revealed a complex and varied technique that can present significant difficulties for intermediate piano students. In particular, the absence of systematic methodological guidance, as well as the lack of suitable and high-quality repertoire, can result in students struggling to learn Beethoven's piano technique and not being satisfied with the results. By examining and analyzing the theories of great educators, pedagogues, and performers, some of the standard technical patterns are identified and methods of mastering them are summarized. A sampling of related late-elementary level and intermediate level repertoire is identified, providing study material for students starting to learn the Beethoven sonatas, and serving as a guide for their teachers.
