@pohlpiano Yeah, Bohemia and Rieger-Kloss are the same company, R-K is just a brand name (but not a lower-line like how Boston or Essex are to Steinway).
I didn't mean to suggest they were in the same category as a Steinway, though. ;) I do prefer the sound of mine to most, if not all, Asian uprights I've heard, but uprights have their limitations, of course. I have not played a Bohemia grand....

what is going on with the g fsharps .Beethoven does some compositional stuff .This intense sonata is fraught with meaning but I can barely find a way in after 20 years . I think it sounds disturbingly romantic like Schumann in a really bad mood but without his pianistic figuration.This would be a good Beeth quartet. And when does he write in e minor ?

Churches are always such terrible venues for piano. It seems that more transparant, less thick writing comes off better,say Op. 74 (F#), Op. 26 (Ab) or even Op. 110 (Ab).

Hi EilisErina.
I am studying the piece at the moment. Have you any tips for the sections with consecutive tenths in? I have small hands and am finding it difficult,

yea too much reverb in the church
Very good performance. The building sometimes swallows some of the notes, but at other times it sounds nice.
Are you playing a Bohemia? I just bought a Bohemia (Rieger-Kloss) upright...what do you think of the piano?

@MaestroTJS I am not a big fan of Bohemia and I am not sure about its relation to the Rieger-Kloss (the company of Bohemia Pianos was based on people formerly employed by PETROF)... I definitely prefer to play Steinway whenever it is possible...

I thought I saw that sonata in one of the Diploma syllabuses for ABRSM - If it is, then I'd definitely do that that one too. Having some trouble though with that left hand! I can see that Pohl raises his wrist to give him a longer reach, but my teacher says to go low and either swing or "oscillate". Any suggestions anyone?

Actually, similar is also my advice and what I believe was trying to do, although it is for the size of my hand not that visible - the swinging for sure, about wrist - that maybe depends on the form of your palm as well. But I didnt want to raise much, it is just that I usually play with my wrist a little bit raised most of the time.
