What Are Some of Beethoven’s Greatest/Most Famous Piano Sonatas?
For example, Sonata quasi una fantasia, Op.27 no.2 is quite famous. Well, the first movement is probably the most famous of the three, but the whole sonata nonetheless is spectacular. 
As of now, I’m playing the third movement of Sonata quasi una fantasia, and after, I’m playing Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu. However, I’m quite a fan of Beethoven’s Sonatas, and just wanted to see if anybody can give me a list of his greatest/most famous piano sonatas. If there are other compositions as well, I’d really appreciate in knowing! Thanks everyone!
The more famous ones are
Moonlight Op 27/2 no. 14
Pathetique Op13 no. 8
Tempest Op31/2 no.17
Appasionata Op57 no. 23
Les Adieux Op81a no. 26
The last one Op111 no. 32
Hammerklavier Op108? no. 29
Pastorale Op 28 no. 15
Waldstein Op 53 no. 21
the ones after the Pathetique are in no particular order.
Also, Op 79, Op 31/1, Op 2/1 have a reputation for being some of the easier ones.
And Op 49/1 and Op 49/2 have the reputation for being the easiest
