I have little classical music background, although my three children take piano, and two take viola and violin,
but I am getting obsessed with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, 3rd movement, especially the YouTube
video performances by Valentina Lisitsa and Murray Perahia. It has been described by music critics as
"stormy" and "fierce".
If I love this piece, and also Beethoven's 5th, what else might I like?

Perhaps Chopin's Scherzo in B minor?
https://www.youtube.com/v/38VShqkukWY
Beethoven sonatas op.57 Appassionata, maybe also op.31/2 "The tempest", op.13 "Pathetique"
Chopin: Fantaisie-Impromptu, Etude op.10 Nr. 12, Prelude Nr. 24 (best try all the Preludes), last three Etudes from op.25, first three scherzi
Possibly Schoenberg's Suite op. 29 as well? The first movement is quite fun and sometimes I think is has a similar feel........ There might be some Liszt pieces you'd like as well. Mazeppa is quite good I think
Beethoven:
Rondo alla ingharese quasi un capriccio in G major, Op. 129 ("Rage over a Lost Penny")

Piano Sonata No.21 in C, op.53 "Waldstein"

Etude Op.25 No.12

Sergei Prokofiev:
Toccata

Maurice Ravel ~ Scarbo (third and last movement from the piano suite, Gaspard de la nuit)

Thank you to everyone who replied. I tried many of your suggestions and especially like Beethoven's Rondo alla ingharese quasi un capriccio in G major, Op. 129 ("Rage over a Lost Penny"). It is so playful that I would not guess Beethoven composed it.
I wonder whether you'd like Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 16.

In general Lisitsa is a fiery player.
