2/10 Moonlight and Appassionata Sonatas (Color Analysis)

Time for more visual analysis... I've posted about the Moonlight Sonata before (tho not all 3 movements) so I decided what the heck, might as complete that, and also throw in the Appassionata again, for old times' sake.... I'll eventually do all 32 sonatas but since these were handy I decided to do the "hits" first.

Since we just saw Professor Yui's masterclass on the Appassionata a couple days ago this should be a walk in the park now, right?
