I'm going with Hammerklavier of those listed. I really only like the Pastoral and Les Adieux from that list besides the op. 106. My real favourite is 109, and also 111, 26, 7, 27-1, 79, and 101.

My vote goes to the Pathétique, but the Moonlight Sonata is indeed very good, as well.

I like all of those sonatas listed above!
Each is so original and beautiful and virtuostic. But if I had to pick a few out of the above, it would have to be Appasionatta and Waldstein. There are other sonatas without names that are just as good as well.

Les Adieux & Opus 111 are my favorites; Waldstein is my least favorite. But I admire all of them .

The Appasionata and Waldstein sonatas contain virtuosity and "fury" unheard of before Beethoven's time. These are the most innovative sonatas Beethoven wrote before his late period. The Waldstein sonata was written after his friend and patron, Count Waldstein, gave him a new Broadwood piano. It was one of the best pianos of the day. But of course it became a mess after a while due to Beethoven's constant banging, since he was going deaf.

The third movement of moonlight sonata was the piece that got me interested in classical music in the first place.

It's one of the most subjective and personal pieces in Beethoven's ouvre, and I find every single note compelling and beautiful; in fact, it is hard not to be drawn to the beauties of Beethoven's many sonatas & variations for piano, but this one is special . The passion of the first movement and the grace of the arietta that follows are very touching, and Beethoven's craftmanship in the variations form he uses to achieve his means in both movements is unsurpassed. The contrapuntal ingenuity of movement one that precedes the cantabile melodiousness of movement two can be analogized to the idea of Beethoven looking back to the strict classicism of Bach, Handel, Haydn, and his teachers Neefe and Albrechtsberger and forward to the free emotional outpourings in music that would characterize much of the romantic period.
