The last Beethoven piece I performed was the 1st movement of the Pathetique. For me, learning it was only moderately difficult. How does the 3rd movement of the Appasionata compare in terms of difficulty?
 
the appassionata is way beyond, even "monstrous" compared to the pathetique. it's way technically demanding and musically demanding (you need all the phrasing well and mood, so to keep audience in suspense and anticipation, excitement). i've worked on both pieces before, the appassionata's a tough nut to crack!
it's a huge step, i suggest you take on something like the "Tempest" sonata (also known as storm) op.31 no.2, it's rewarding once you learn.
