Beethoven Sonata, Movement 2 - Suzuki Book 4

Congratulations!  You're now working on the second movement of your first Sonata!  This is one of my favorite pieces and you now have all the skills you need to be able to play such a beautiful work! You've worked hard in the first movement at switching from duple to triple meter and as much as you may love to use that skill, you don't need it outside of measure 40 in this movement (make sure those are triplets!).

It IS tempting to use those triplets though - especially when you get to measure 114.   This rhythm is the same sort of thing we worked so hard on in the Minuet in Book 3, so you've got it!

Here is the portion we're looking at:

If you find you're having particular difficulty here, or your teacher has brought this up in your lesson, here is a quick tip for how to practice it so that you have the correct rhythm in your ear:

Happy Practicing!
