Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement (Beethoven) Sheet Music

[liu408]

sounds like N64 game sounds

[GibsonLesBud]

This is my all time favourite on the piano. I'm playng little over one year (self thought) and its going better than expected. Lot of sweath though!

[kutekat13j]

I'm not the best at reading music, but I want to play this on my trumpet.

I was wondering what kind it is: Like A flat or C flat or something

Other then that, LOVE BEETHOVEN ALL THE WAY TO MY GRAVE!! THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING :DDDDDDDDD

[MrMeowGusta]

@kutekat13j I think its in C#

[PURPLESBABY]

@isausol THANKS SO MUCH^^ i get it now:)

[PURPLESBABY]

can someone tell me what does the x next to the note means?

[isausol]

@PURPLESBABY Those aren't an x, they are the double sharp sign, basically it is a whole tone above the notated note. So if you have F double sharp, you play a G natural.

upload.wikimedia(DOT)org/wikip­edia/en/1/16/C_sharp_music.svg

[MrsFunsocks]

@isausol That's not true at all, you're misleading him.

The double sharp is TWO HALF STEPS from the natural of the note. If a B has a double sharp, then the note being played should be a C#, not a fucking C as you suggest. Same goes for E. If E has a double sharp next to it, the note that should be played is F#. Don't answer questions if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You ruin theory for the rest of us.

[isausol]

@MrsFunsocks Actually, what you said is exactly what I said, but using American Music Theory Terms. Also, using the term "from the note" is ambiguous as it can go either way. Two half steps above the note is the same as saying Two semitones or a wholetone above the note in British Music Theory (and most other theories as well). Make sure that you know other terminology before you ruin your own music theory. I do know what I am "fucking" talking about. Idiot.

[MrsFunsocks]

@isausol "From the note" is not ambiguous as I provided two examples. If your musically retarded mind cannot process that, then I feel sorry for you. You were ambiguous with your answer, not I. Just accept that you were wrong, because you actually were. You don't have to come on here acting like you are superior because you have to do Google searches before you respond. I laughed after reading your reply, because I know you had to. Your lack of knowledge and pedantic antics humor me.

[isausol]

@MrsFunsocks Lack of knowledge? I'm sorry, I actually have studied music at A Level thank you very much. I do not need a "Google Search" for my data. Also, I never mentioned anything about a B or a C at all. All I posted was a link to wikipedia's image of a C# and a C double sharp to show what a double sharp looked like. I wasn't ambiguous at all with my answer in any way. You need to take a good look at oneself before passing judgement on others.

[MrsFunsocks]

@isausol LOL. Not ambiguous? And I quote, "basically it is a whole tone above the notated note. So if you have F double sharp, you play a G natural." Right... So if I have an E, that means I play a F. From what you said of course. Still, retarded. It's YouTube buddy, just accept you were wrong. A "whole tone" does not mean two steps, it means the note above, regardless of steps. F# to G# and so forth. That meaning, B double sharp would mean C? You're wrong. Just stop fighting it.

[isausol]

@MrsFunsocks You are an idiot, a whole tone is two semitones or a major second. So a whole tone from E is an F#, not an F. A whole tone in the american system is also known as a whole step. For further iteration of this fact, it is also 200 cents in tuning in the equal temperament system where a semitone is 100 cents. I am not going to stop fighting someone who is stupidly saying I am wrong when I am clearly not and they are. Go back to school and learn music theory.

[GibsonLesBud]

@MrsFunsocks You are so wrong. What isausol writes is perfectly right, and if you had a brain OR studied music theory with it you, would know that there is only a half tone between E/F and BC. Thats music theory! EVERY KEY ON THE PIANO IS A HALF TONE APART!!!!! Now shut up and read a book! I Suggest usic theory for dummies.

[nygiants1220]

Why doesn't the piano burst into flames when someone plays this song? Do they make fire resistant piano's? Why didn't Beethoven's piano burst into flames? Must've used a ton of pianos.

[RINGMASTER1118]

What was Ludwig smoking when he composed this?

[XellosBlackforest]

@RINGMASTER1118 Dunhill blended with rubber.

That piece was like made me stop playing the piano for a decade straight. Crazy.

[RainFanable]

it's Beethoven's 241 birthday...

[JT112358]

listening to this along with taking a look at the sheet music makes me wonder how immeasurably superhuman this man's soul and mind must have been!

[Pollux1198]

I love this song. I hope Im not the only teen out their who loves classical music. This song is also really hard. i am trying to play it and i am... going slowly. and.... The trebble clef goes on top if it SHOWS it on top. in this song, the treble and bass move around alot. So please like this so it can be at the top and people will understand the treble and bass concept.

[springkler]

This is a nice kind of video

[julesTEO]

looks like Note WorthyComposer :P*

[irkiIIer]

playing this song must be a nightmare for asians

[vito741]

Beautiful.

[kutekat13j]

I wanna try and play this on trumpet now :D BEETHOVEN ROCKS!!!!

[TedEstStultus]

Playing this at school talent show... bitches better get ready! :D

[bacoboyC]

I can play this. The allegro agitato.

[lamprinila]

very nice idea ... i always loved and love this movement... bravo

[147147Justin]

Sounds Great! :D

neva heard this song before XDDDD

[GuildWars201]

on 0:06 you had wrongly put base clef on the treble clef

[hayama317]

@GuildWars201 No I didn't.

[ThePatrickboulet]

@GuildWars201 putting the base clef for the right hand is just a way of not writing lejer (spelling?) lines, its played by the right hand below the middle C

[GibsonLesBud]

@ThePatrickboulet Oh my god, you did not make this remark... Please say you didn't.

[ThePatrickboulet]

@GibsonLesBud i didn't

[GibsonLesBud]

@GuildWars201 are you serious?

[alboholic2]

can you print these?!??

[1001dlee]

Can someone please tell me what the name of the notation software was used for this? Is it free?

[1337Ally]

@1001dlee Sibelius most likely - it's not free but I'm pretty sure you can download it off the pirate bay... usually costs $1000 in the shops

[1001dlee]

@1337Ally Umm, yeah, I think I'll stick to MuseScore and Finale Notepad 2008, since both are free. :)

[NFIn843v3r]

When I heard Horowitz's interpretation of this piece, I laughed at how he played everything, especially at 0:35 - 0:38. But then when I heard the computer play that part, I finally understand he was playing it right after all. It just sounds so wrong since I usually hear it played differently... Anyway, does anyone have any idea of a piece by Mozart which sounds the same in some parts of these piece? I forgot the piece's title so if anyone can help I really appreciate it. :)

[misterj4mz]

there are tons of problems with the music and overall having a computer play it is simply sub par. the true beauty is found with an actual piano. but alas, whoever went through the trouble to convert this whole movement to the computer deserves praise

[snoopdogg111000]

Perfect! Eargasm.

[theangelfactory]

that's not original

[HajtomY]

This is great!!!! what can I say!

[ihatejonassforever]

Chuck norris can play this whole song with his dick!!

[Ir0nman86]

you can find free piano sheet music @ sheetsearch . com

[RGmaestro]

fuck this shit, and i want to learn to play the piano just cos of that song? i think ill keep playing just my guitar

[Vesivian]

@RGmaestro Listen to Appasionata, Mazeppa, Wilde Jagd, Rachmanioff's 3rd concerto and Flight of the bumbebee cziffra's version and you will want to play the piano.

[TehAcrobeleno101]

i might break my piano trying to learn this =.='''

[kalumander]

Is this a Super mario playing ? :)

[CariagaXIII]

PIANO RIFF :D

[SweeTieHearT888]

I'd kill to play something like this.

[EvilNinjaDuckie]

A computer can perfectly play all the notes, but it can never emulate the emotion that goes into playing something like this.

[EMPERORMIKI]

nm I just saw that you do ... the spelling in this is very weird lol.

[EMPERORMIKI]

How come you don't use double sharps in your notation?

[davel112]

love beethoven. BUT this recording at 1:05 sounds like a nintendon game

[PrInCeShAdE1]

0:17 lehlehlehlehlehlehleh!

[PrInCeShAdE1]

the fun and fastest 6 minutes of my life

[Izza1994]

That was awesome! I feel like I can play it, it doesn't look that hard to me except the speed. ^-^

[raulamao]

This would make same sick final boss RPG game music

[rspsxtc]

@raulamao

This has been used.

Earthworm Jim 2 iso 9000. Thats how I found this song lol.

[Xw0LveS89]

what's the original metronome speed for this piece?

[kikyou751998]

@Xw0LveS89

It's 4/4

[ltdex400guitarist]

can anyone play this on guitar ? im trying to learn it but it seams to be a little bit difficult :|

[insaneguitarfreak]

I LOVE the the burning emotions that this song evokes, and that Napolitan chord at aprox 0:51

[PrInCeShAdE1]

Whats the note tr~~~~~~~~ on 0:56

[SnakeMan227]

This song will forever remind me of the last level of Earthworm Jim 2 "See Jim Run,Run Jim Run"

[crackyskull]

It's very cool how you did this but there is no contrast in the music, such as the first big pause in the beginning, not a lot of drama or sound. There is no dynamics. The second theme sounds like someone is just pounding every note equally when there should be a crescendo then piano and then leads up to a forte. I don't like digital pianos personally, and like only a few software programs for music

[thegretestman]

the bar cant seem to keep up with the notes

[doomless198]

9 reasons to wear condoms

[camelcash99]

this is a very good post. thank you for posting it. moonlight sonata was my very first piano recital piece when i was nine. thanks for the memories.

[DarkNinjaStudent]

Did you use a software? Or did you play it? I'm just asking cuz, I wish someone would play the Dance of the Baroness perfectly using this "style". Is there a software for this out there???? Please tell me...

[2fzweb]

You can play this at 50bpm and then you fast forward it to 225 bpm, then it can be perfectly like this (just kidding)

[MrKzim95]

someday.....

[AZADLIG]

HOW COULD THIS BE COMPOSED?!!!

[Psycho653]

I really like this vid this is the tenth time i watch this but how can someone learn this way ?

[guioume]

the sheet is not correct.

[MJTTOMB]

why would anybody want to listen to a robot butcher this piece?

[DunNotCome]

What happend to the tremolo at 3:50??? there was supposed to haf a tremolo an octave apart there.

[DunNotCome]

lols i recorded my own version of this piece (not perfect thou) hahaha.

[boysangur]

1:00 - 1:30 part always gets me. I literally get contractions in my chest when I hear it.

[HitaroX]

Metal music of the classical era.

[n8tivguitar]

is grand staff always read like this bass on bottom treb on top??????????

[hayama317]

@n8tivguitar Yes it is.

[DunNotCome]

@hayama317 i dun agree, look at appassionata sheet music and you will understand why i dun agree (it has cross hands)

[LSYC98]

@n8tivguitar No. Duh. 

[alboholic2]

@n8tivguitar NO. its the opposite 

[TheMarty5677]

Pure ecstacy...no other way to describe it.

[shrishsti]

Thanks. Very helpful in learning to play this song.

[irrevocable18]

This and malaguena by Lecuona are my julliard auditions.

[theunkown8]

Beethoven had breaking peoples fingers in mind the guys brilliant think about it after 240 years (give or take a few years) he is still breaking fingers with this amazing composition.

[specter290]

i think its possible to learn this even if you have only been playing the piano for a year. it doesnt look so hard. honestly.

[g3rrar1]

@specter290 wtf????

[HitaroX]

@specter290 It doesn't LOOK so hard, but it can satisfy ;)

[Andrew777801]

what does the notes on 0:37 mean?

[hayama317]

@Andrew777801 I'm presuming you mean the tremolo. It is a tremolo.

[Andrew777801]

@hayama317 Ohh....ok...thanks :D

[dragonfire9267]

@Andrew777801

switch between the two notes

basically, like a trill

[Evr1019821]

@Andrew777801 They mean to alternate pressing the notes before and after as fast as you can

[zeldarules3]

Can you give me a link to this music sheet, plz. I want to learn the song and it's beautiful

[specter290]

@zeldarules3 hey please reply back if you want the link i have it and are you trying to learn this! whats your piano history

[lightfox17]

I've been looking for this, thanks!

[DarkEternity129]

this is helpful

[PhotosByHamza]

Just has no soul... maybe technically perfect, but it sounds too robotic.

[Loseirdo]

@PhotosByHamza That's because it's played by the computer. So good call on that.

[GH2whiz]

only now i think, what the hell was he thinking when he decided to make this? 'Hmm, i know! I'll make a piece that only i can play and if anyone trys to attempt it they shall die!'

[willwei98]

5 people dislike this music.

Those 5 people should learn to LIKE real music.

[vatmnhat]

Can I borrow your score file because someday I want to learn this piece? Thank you very much.

[raticida123456]

this score have defects but thanks for post this

[ajnUrIkO22]

whoa....i've never heard this ever in my life...nice one...i'm very amazed...great!!! keep up the gud work! ^_~

[SuperiorLarxene]

You did a great job on this, although some parts could use some dynamics.

"Like"

[DunNotCome]

OUCH!!!! The orchestra part sounds hurtful(psst - inputting tips:try adding rest between notes to make it sound staccato). that part was supposed to be staccato, not legato...

[hayama317]

@DunNotCome There is not orchestra part

yes, and now, I am trying to make the sheet music I post as close to the original sheet music as I possibly can.

[DunNotCome]

@hayama317 if u notice at 1:14 and 1:04, the entire phrase is very staccato and very musch like different intruments being played. That is the part that must be orchestrated for example, at 1:04, D# must be softer than the other notes becoause it is the so called 'decoration'. The tune of that phrase must be heard more prominently than the repeated notes.

[hayama317]

@DunNotCome Aah, I understand now. I like helpful inputs that will help for future videos. Thank you very much.

[MadTalented]

People are acting crazy and criticizing because you uploaded  this video but this actually does help contrary to what alot of your comments are saying. I listen to it quite often; and by quite often i mean a few times a day. So thanx alot hayama317 and please ignore all the negativity and keep doing what your doing.

Also, this is not meant to be a piano lesson. The purpose is to HELP you in your own studies so finger numbers and all that other stuff are not his responsibility.

[hayama317]

@MadTalented Thank you so very much for your post. I used to wonder if people would actually read my comment about "this isn't an actual recording, its a computer". Thank you, once again, for commenting.

[deerodchan]

how is it lame? you know how hard this program is, he did a great job even though its computer generalized, still you get the point of how the piece is supposed to be played.

[MadTalented]

i actually like this version.. it isn't performance material but it's very clean and it does have something kinda cool about to me...

[tioangelw]

muy bueno gracias por el video

[KevinBeethoven]

this version makes this look a whole lot easier.....

[ko2anboy]

this song sounds too mechanical.... no drama, to chippy.... I'm playing this piece and it takes about 10 mins to play it all, but this only takes about 6mins..

[KevinBeethoven]

wa???? not 10 at all! like 7

watch Valentina Lisita and lockdown42's version- about 6-7 min.

[taitheguy85]

WTF! No fingiring... what good is this 2 me?

[hayama317]

@taitheguy85 you could make your own fingerings

[DaseyObsessed]

He was just writing the notes to all of his music and never played it not even once.....He had a talent for writing music. He didn't hear the sound though. In his head maybe, he was thinking of them, but didn't hear his music.

[dussekfan]

what are those long = lines supposed to mean! I am in Level 8 and i can't believe i don';t know that

[hayama317]

what long lines?

[dussekfan]

sometimes in the bass clef these weird long lines appear...i think it was like alberti bass or something...

[daddyslilgirl21096]

i think those lines represent how the 2notes alternate as sixteenth notes instead of writing it out as such but then i might be wrong

[dussekfan]

yeah...i think so too

[hayama317]

do you mean at 0:44 ?

[KevinBeethoven]

tremolo

[dussekfan]

oh. hah....silly meh

[DaseyObsessed]

It's so sad Beethoven never heard his music :(

[hayama317]

he did, in his head. otherwise, how did he create such work?

[Darbyjack]

Well, he didn't go fully deaf until around 1814 or something.

[8888mylove]

wow "" is magnificent Beethoven was a legend in music joined the first and the second movement and the result is this music that does not resemble either of wow! I am speechless

[GindiYahav]

Yea, its diffrent han the first, but I leaned the first and now starting this, and I can say that the first was hard for me too (by heart), But ithis movement is so... cool!!

[pauluskurniawan]

its still alright man,... just the hardest part only 135rpm.... and play fasttt

but the hardest piece is pathetique part 3.....

[Selendomono]

you know it has got to be a hard piece when you cant even hum the melody.....

[PrInCeShAdE1]

@Selendomono Not just hard! Very-Hard i think its for Pro's only

[Vesivian]

@Selendomono Wrong. Its easier than it looks, bear the repeated passages in mind please. The una sinistra isin't doing too much most of the time.

[Starbirdy9999]

Masterful piece. I love it!

[TheGatogirll]

WOW!!!! Just compare this to the first movemonet of this same song, and it's so different!!! But this is still beautiful... I am SO learning how to play this!!!

[Starbirdy9999]

Be careful, because it is a pain in every spot to learn. That's what my friend said.

[hayama317]

I've never thought about it that way, TheGatogirll! the first movement is all calm, and then, THIS! Wow.

[pauluskurniawan]

i think its overture

[mexicangirl83]

the notes are not that hard... the hard thing is to play them fast and in tempo S:

[zjenas]

yes, and the point is, it isn't played at all, the software does it here, so i think it's quite lame to upload this, correct me if i'm wrong plz

[hayama317]

@zjenas the idea of this channel is not to listen to the music, but to play it yourself using the sheet music I have posted. the sound is basically a guideline.

[zjenas]

ok, I see, my apologies, I was looking for a played version, I didn't know that.

[zjenas]

@hayama317 ok, my apologies, i misunderstood the purpose of the channel, beside that, you've done a great job!

[TheJordanLorentz]

@zjenas i think its actually pretty cool, this way you can pause it and relook at exactly whats going on. Like i have no interest in learning this whole song or anything but there are a few little runs there that would sound cool on guitar and this is a good way to learn it kinda.

[hulkyou1234]

Nice!  What program did you use for this? =D

[SpeedOfTeaCup]

Goddamn. This gives me the goosebumps. I found a pdf download of this movement as soon as I listened to this. I'm bringing the printed copy to my piano coach next Thursday in hopes she'll train me to play this piece for my winter 2009 recital. <33

[XaldBalghostriped]

oh God I hate this song T____T

I'ts so freaking hard!! BUT I LOVE THIS!!
