Hi,
1.The pianist played a piece by A, and then went on to play to play one of B's sonatas.
2.The pianist played a piece by A, and then moved on to play to play one of B's sonatas.
Do you think went on and moved on in (1) and (2) have the same meaning and interchangeable?If not, what is the difference in meaning btw them?

went on (to do something else) suggests only a progression of events not necessarily involving motion from one place to another.
moved on (to do something else) has a stronger suggestion of physical motion from one place to another.
Nevertheless, both are possible in this sentence. The second one (with moved on) suggests to me that the sonata that the pianist
