Here are five of Beethoven's lesser known sonatas that I think are worth a second (or first!) look, regardless of their popularity: 5: Sonata no. 9 in E Major (op. 14 no. 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU1xVvgdfg0
I recently got MIDIs of all Beethoven's sonatas, save for the 32nd piano sonata , and I started wondering, which is the most underappreciated? I personally found the second sonata rather underappreciated.
And the later sonatas are well worth hearing too, just so long as we give Brendel the benefit of the doubt, and bear in mind that, while he hadn't managed it in the early 1960s, he would go on to become one of the greatest Beethoven interpreters of the 20 th century.
Save for brittleness in loud passages, Brendel fares marvelously in Op. 78’s finale, pointing up the relentless syncopations and quirky major/minor key alternations. What’s more, Brendel’s underrated ability to project soft playing with body and definition in large venues comes across in the sonata’s opening movement.

The opening of Sonata No.8 Op.13 “Pathétique” can be one of the most dramatic in the cycle. Brendel spins the introduction out a bit too much in my opinion, and the dotted rhythms are not well enough defined to keep the right kind of intensity.
