Moonlight Sonata, Beethoven (Late-Intermediate Piano Solo) Alfred's Adult Level 3

--TEACHER DEMO--
This is the 1st Movement from Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C# minor, Opus 27, No. 2. It is one of Beethoven's most peaceful and serene compositions and has been well-loved through the years and performed and recorded by many renowned pianists.

Beethoven composed this song in 1801 and dedicated it to his piano student, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, in 1802. The name "Moonlight Sonata" came about in 1836 when the German music critic, Ludwig Rellstab, said that the 1st movement reminded him of "the reflected moonlight off of Lake Lucerne". Obviously, the public agreed with his reference and the name "Moonlight Sonata" has been used to refer to this song for almost 200 years.

This song was very popular even in Beethoven's time. Apparently Beethoven didn't think it was his best work since he remarked to Czerny, "They are always talking about the C# minor Sonata, surely I've written better things."

I like to use the una corda (soft pedal) on the final chord. --Norma
