My Choice - San Gwann: Piano Concerto 14 Beethoven

We take a tour of the town of San Gwann in Malta while enjoying Piano Sonata No. 14 by Beethoven.

The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C♯ minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2, by Ludwig van Beethoven, popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata (Mondscheinsonate in German), was completed in 1801. It is rumored to be dedicated to his pupil, 17-year-old Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, with whom Beethoven was, or had been, in love.

Allegedly, the piece came about when Beethoven heard music coming from a house, which he recognized as one of his compositions. When he entered the house, he found a blind girl playing the piano, although she wished someone would show her how to play the song correctly.

He offered to play it for her, and when he finished, she realized who it was. He then improvised the sonata, inspired by the moonlight streaming in through the window, and, after offering to give the girl piano lessons, rushed home to write the music down while he still remembered it.

The town of San Ġwann has a population of 13,000 inhabitants and is mostly made up of relatively modern buildings having been established as a parish only in 1965. However, the few scattered archeological remains found in the region suggest that San Ġwann has an ancient history which is woven into the national history of Malta.

The oldest human remains in the locality are the cart ruts close to Sant Andrija zone. The dating of the cart ruts, found in many other localities in Malta have been dated to the pre-Punic Period and have been assumed to have been carved out during the Bronze Age period dated to 2300-1000 BC.

These prehistoric inhabitants may have lived in caves similar to those behind the Tal-Mensija Sanctuary.

Roman period remains excavated from the region included a number of tombs and a covered cistern arresting to an active human community.
