10-22mm is bad-ass ;) but when you're so new to photography that you have ask why you'd use 50/1.4 over Sigma superzoom I recommend you start learning with a bit more normal perspective(s).
Instead of 50mm (or in addition to) you could look into lenses like 28/1.8, 35/2 or Sigma 30/1.4, these produce very natural "what you see is what you get" shots and allow handheld low light shooting in very dark places like bars and poorly lit ug gigs. I find 28-35mm focal leghts highly versatile on a crop sensor camera.
You also learn to compose without zooming which shows you the effect of the focal lenght quite fast. I mean, I've seen many noobs blasting away with zoom lenses and just standing still with no regard how focal lenght actually affects the outcome. At first prime may feel awkward but you learn the appropriate shooting distances very fast. After a while you just walk to your spot, raise the camera and take the shot. I admit that primes aren't the answer for some people but they're definitely worth a try and you get seriously good image quality (and speed) relatively cheaply.
