A great piece. I first heard this piece in the movie "32 Short Films Aboug Glenn Gould" and immediately tried to learn it. It's hard to play well, especially the ending when the left and right hand play in syncopation.

Hah! That's where I heard it first as well. Since then I bought Glenn Gould's performance of all the Beethoven piano sonatas. They're all fantastic.

Cool. I'll have to check out some of Glenn Gould's recordings. I have Richard Goode's complete collection of Beethoven Sonatas, and a few recordings from Louise Lortie that I really like. I need to broaden my collection, however, as it's mostly Beethoven.
