Your top 10 favourite piano sonatas

[Symphonic Addict]

Here's my list (in no particular order):

Berg: Piano Sonata, Op. 1
Scriabin: Piano Sonata No. 2 in G-sharp minor, Op. 19 "Sonata-Fantasy"
Ives: Concord Sonata
Shostakovich: Piano Sonata No. 2 in B minor, Op. 61
Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 7 in B♭ major, Op. 83
Janáček: Piano Sonata 1.X.1905
Chopin: Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35
Liszt: Piano Sonata in B minor, S. 178
Carter: Piano Sonata
Bartók: Piano Sonata, BB 88, Sz. 80

Edit: I did away with the Hindemith for Bartók since I couldn't choose from any three of the Hindemith works.

Wow, you liking the Chopin? 

I remember enjoying the Carter as well.

Beethoven Op. 109
Schubert D.960
Schumann No. 2
Liszt B minor
Brahms Op. 5
Alkan Grande Sonate "Les quatre âges"
Medtner Op. 30

Thumbs up for the Weber...

Oh yes - I first listened to it on my iPod when out for a long walk, and did more dancing than walking, I think.

Your original list included Schubert no.20 - which is that?  Must be one of the late ones, but I couldn't find any reliable listing of them by number.  (Hope it's my beloved A major, D.959.)

Wow, you liking the Chopin? 

I remember enjoying the Carter as well.

Sure, I don't listen to Chopin very often, but I do like some of his works.

Big fan of both the Kabalevsky and Rachmaninov. The others (excluding Beehoven, Schubert and Prokofiev) are still rather unknown to me of less familiar.

You don't know Medtner's Sonata Romantica? You must rectify that! It's my favorite piano sonata at the moment.
