Top 10 of BEETHOVEN's Piano Sonatas

■ All of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas are masterpieces that are difficult to rank.

The 10 works in the video were selected based on famous songs, and also included some of my personal favorites.

I wanted to include some of the early works, but there are so many later works that I have a soft spot for, so a lot of them were left out of this top ten.

Beethoven will be covered as a top 10 topic under other topics, so please think of it as a time to appreciate famous songs.
