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?

"l do not consider my music as atonal, but rather as non-tonal. I feel the unity of all keys. Atonal music by modern composers admits of no key at all, no feeling of any definite center." - Arnold Schoenberg

Jo498

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

Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre.

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

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.
