Thank you for this video. I was having a tough time with the 3rd section of the "moonlight" - a huge amount of fatigue and I genuinely thought that was necessary! Eventually I got a BAD pain in my arm and it really scared me! I did not play for 1 week and things eased up. Since then I have paced myself and haven't had an issue since. I wish I had seen your video before I started the piece.
I am so so sorry to hear you went through so much trouble with the sonata. You did the right thing to take a break, allow your hands to recover, then reassessed your practice strategies. I hope your hands are well since then! Tiredness and pain are absolutely unnecessary in learning the piano, even if the music is very challenging.
