  • oh my i absolutely love this music!

  • Zeno, thank-you for sharing this beautiful piece of music accompanied by such beautiful sunsets. It's very peaceful and inspiring.

  • This is one of my fav pieces to play, and sun sets are my fav thing to shot :)

  • Essa música sempre trouxe para mim a sensação contraditória de uma tensão querendo irromper e algo quase em paz. E ela é tão contemporânea, pois vivemos num mundo complexo e fragmentado. Convido a assistirem a um vídeo-poema sobre a perplexidade do homem contemporâneo, com a poesia Perplexidade em paz, imagens de grande força e a música Sonata ao luar de Beethoven. O vídeo pode ser encontrado no youtube digitando-se: Perplexidade em paz

  • Soulja Boy got NOTHING on Beethoven, kick his ass Ludwig!

  • chuck norris made it

  • it would look way nicer if these sunsets were in actual animation like moving clouds slowly the waves moving and stuff but nice work!

  • i have a question, if i play this piece in front of hot chicks that are horny, could i get layed afterwards by them?

  • It would depend on the circumstance and the girl(s), lol. It never worked for Beethoven, so I guess not.

  • Untrue, Beethoven had many lovers. XD

  • @Zeno134

    We don't know that. For all we know, 18th century bitches could have been all over his conductors baton. That wig was the equivalent of a pimp coat. Probably.

  • @username1p I'll bet if you set up a white piano at the beach like at 1:41, then tell a girl you have a surprise for her, then take her out there and play this the entire time the sun is setting, your chances will increase by about 80%

  • @redshark618 lol i doubt it. thats just cheesy dude. white piano??? the only thing more vulgar would be a pink piano. keep it classy ...

  • @username1p... it worked for me,rarely fails mo chara.

  • @username1p definately. Theyll giggle and stuff but really theyd be wet as hell if you play it musically and emotionally.

  • @username1p

    ...Maybe if they're hot goth chicks...xD

  • Te Amo Luna.......

  • This is so beautiful great video thanks 4 sharing it

  • This is the best music ever made!GENIAL!!!!!!!!

  • Love this piece..

    thank you..

    Sending Smiles:)

  • I love it too. Sometimes this simplest pieces present the most beauty. Thanks for the comment.

  • I like how the pictures work perfectly with the piece. nice vid :)

  • Thank, I'm glad you liked it.

  • what a masterpeace

  • It truly is. Thanks for the comment.

  • Dis music suks.. new kids on da block rock

  • To each his own, I suppose. But, in any case, I thank you for the comment and would like to wish you a merry Christmas.

  • "New kids" listen to rap and pop. No one aprisiates classics anymore. =(

  • Brings me back to 4th grade when my orchestra teacher played it on the piano(he did speed it up and add his own lyrics so I didn't know original scoring). It is one to sooth the soul.

  • It is one of those timeless reflections on the human conditions that anyone with stillness, patience, and emotion could relate to if they let themselves ,and it really does "soothe the soul." Thank you so much for the comment, I appreciate every one (even if it takes some time to reply.) Merry Christmas.

  • One of the most beautiful songs in the story of mankind :)

  • It's one of those rare pieces of art that captures an essential essence of humanity, something so central that it defies our basic understanding. I agree, definitely one of the most beautiful. Thank you so very much for the comment.

  • i really loved it since i was about nine years old.i was too young to understand why i liked it so much but i started to cry. i was soo emberassed.

  • Well, I'm glad that you loved it, and yes, I know how you feel. Music can make us do some pretty odd things. Thank you so much for the comment. :)

  • well...i have nothing new to say...its a BEAUTIFUL consonant song. 5 stars at least!

    Thx for upload

  • Thanks for the comment, and it is always nice to hear a fan of the moonlight sonata. Take care.

  • Thank you for this beautiful video.

  • Amazing that a 150+ YO song translates so well today. A genious.

  • That is so true; I just wish that more people could notice that. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it.

  • wow...!

  • very good selection of photos. that`s impressive.

  • prekrasno!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ačiū (I think)

  • this is truly beautiful.

  • The thing about Beethoven is that he communicates those eternal themes that everyone understands, without words or actions---simply with music. I'm glad that you liked this.

  • beautiful

    -sALsEEch

  • Thank you very much. It seems like everyone has kind things to say about Beethoven today. I'm glad.

  • nice thank's

  • You are welcome. It was no problem.

  • Grazie molte! Thanks very much (I think?)

  • beautiful video ♥

    and the music is perfect

    thank you "skiantozza"

  • Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much. It is one of my favorite songs, and I hope that you found it tranquil. Also, I have a question: do you speak Italian?

  • Nice video!

  • Thanks

  • Marvelous sonata along with all the sunsets...

    Thank you for sharing..

  • Thank you very much! I made it a while ago, and then all of a sudden there was this massive assault of comments today. I'm glad everyone likes it so much. The pictures, btw, are from Ireland.

  • benissimo..... p

  • grazie!

  • BELLA MELODIA!

  • Beethoven è brillante, che è preciso! Forgive my Italian, it is bad.

  • Den här låten är väldigt vacker, men ingenting kan vara vackrare än vår kärlek.. saknar dig J....

  • Önskar att jag fick höra dig spela den för mig igen, saknar dig M....

  • Those who appraise the Sun are children from

    Beethoven.

  • i love this song...

  • say no more!!! beatiful pics and a perfect selection of music.

  • great pic's & great song...good job..

  • Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It really is a unique song.

  • outstanding ty

  • Thank you too.

  • sehr nett, sehr nett

    es ist gut

  • Danke schon!

  • its so PEACEFUL....;)i feel depressed, but its beautiful...

  • that's right you had to played to open a door

  • this song was on reasedent evil

  • Really? That's so odd. It's awesome though.

  • I love that sonata, and I love that pics. Thanks for the video!

  • Your welcome

  • I play the song too its really amazing to feel the voices and i dont know why i mean the song want to tell me anything its mystery^^ ... But the mvt 3 i have problems cause my fingers do not that what i want they to do.^^ Sry for the bad english from germany 14 years old and a three in english^^

    MfG Marvin Schäfer

  • Ja, mien Deutsch ich schlect. No problem. Yes, it is one of my favorite songs to play also, and yes, the third movement is terribly difficult. Good luck and continue to play. auf Wiedersehen!

  • I love this song its so relaxing and it reallly helps you reflect.... i really wish i knew more pieces like this one. Any recomendations?

  • There are probably many, but as for well known pieces, I know a couple. The first and especially second movement of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony are really happy and relaxing. Most of Vivaldi works are pretty light as well, the Four Season's for example. There is also a serenade for a flue, viola, and violin (opus 25) that Beethoven wrote. It's not as well known but i find it very pleasant and peaceful. I hope that helps.

  • oh thanx but im more into the real moody ones they are the most powerful!lol but all classical musicis so relaxing!

  • In that case, I would suggest Chopin. Most of his music is pretty moody and grim; relaxing but sad.

  • i would recommend beethoven piano concerto no.5 2nd movement

  • (reply to gorgeouslatina)

  • Quem é o pianista???

    A interpretação está muito boa! A montagem ja nem tanto! mas foi um bom trabalho!

  • next time turn it up al ittle bit next rime ok!

    just a frendly reminder from enjoiskate!

  • this song always makes me calm...it is a beautiful song

  • It truly is, one of the best.

  • This is beautiful. It did, however, seem more like a sunset montage than a moonlight one, but beautiful nonetheless.

  • beautiful

  • I love the third movement: It's so tempestuous and passionate. It's no wonder that Beethoven broke hammers and strings sometimes when he played!

  • I agree!

  • 舒服的音樂! ^^

  • I've studed musicology for 5 long years and I know many classical pieces, but this one is still my fave music of all time... And I love to play it because it makes me calm :-) Thank you, Beethoven for this!! I remember you didn't like it at all, but this is timeless...

  • 1 word. Lovely.

    <3

  • the other day i read a story here that says that beeth was walking nearby a house and he heard somebody playing this sonata and said something he went to the house and the pianist was a blind girl he went and played it for her and then the night came and there was no light he was iluminated with the moonlight thru the window-moonlight sonata

  • I love stories with Beethoven in them. I've never her that one before, but it doesn't sound too far fetched. Even then, any story with Beethoven, whether true or false, is touching to me. I really liked the old master a lot. Thanks for telling me that one.

  • I love this

  • zeno-mooonlight sonata was written by beethoven, not chopin-get it right bro

  • I know, but i was using Chopin as an example for something else. No prob though, I appreciate your concisenesses. We wouldn't want people going around thinking that Chopin wrote the moonlight Sonata And Beethoven wrote the Minute waltz, would we? It would be a travesty.

  • Love this song, but it is Moonlight Sonata, not Sunset Sonata

  • Ha, good point.

  • Unlike artwork, music cannot decay. Its beauty, and its downfall is that it can be recreated.

  • Wow, that was beautifully poetic, and so very true, especially now-a-days, with digital recording and everything.

  • Thank you... I realized the other day that I would hate if someone played a song I wrote themselves... it may lack the same emotion and/or expression I had originally intended, for example, and the same goes for Beethoven, and any musical artist for that matter.

  • Perhaps some bands enjoy their fans singing their lyrics off-tune to them in concerts... but to me, I would feel disgusted if those lyrics meant something personal... and then on the other hand (again) perhaps it is beautiful that humans can relate to others' emotions.

    It is both good and bad, at the same time.

  • Music is one of the mot subjective things that a human can express, sometimes personal to the very core, so I know what you mean. Chopin got really mad about people playing his music wrong, without proper respect. And I'm sure that many modern artists feel similar (and different). It's ll a matter of opinion.

  • Really? Interesting, I'm going to look him up on Wikipedia.

  • Beautiful piece!!!

  • i lost my virginity to this song. So the everlasting warm memory is reincarnated by this beau piece of genius.

  • lmao, brett you get the best comments

  • Don't get any warm memory on your keyboard.

  • I had always thought of Fur Elise as my favorite piece of piano music. Then I listened to this and realized that I didn't know it. What kind of fool must I have been to not actually know this song? THIS is by far the most beautiful piece of piano music I have ever heard in my life. It evokes so much emotion and even warmth and sadness at once. AMAZING.

  • I'm glad that you found it; it is a very special piece.

  • maksim somewhere in time....mind blowing

  • great video and choice of song, def the best song classic known to man kind. love the video. it kinda is depressing, which is what i like so much about it.

  • I don't find this song to be happy or peaceful as some said. Still in all, best classical song ever, one of the only classical songs that doesn't seem to drag on forever. This song, to me, feels like it's about someones pain and sorrow... Maybe the death of a wife or child.

  • Actually, Beethoven wrote it and dedicated it to the Countess Guccierdi (my spelling's probably wrong), a pupil of his. He had fallen in love with her and wanted them to be married, but she rebutted him and got engaged to a count. Needless to say, he was terribly upset, but accepting fate he wrote this piece which Berloiz called "a great lament". Interestingly enough, the fact that it ends the same as it begins, seems to be like Beethoven's own bittersweet acceptance of faith.

  • Thank you

  • I LUV THIS SONG IT ALWAYS MAKES ME HAPPY

  • ???

  • con esta cancion del gran beehoven me quedo dormido jaja, naaa es un muy buen clasico que vale la pena escucharlo al menos mil veces en una vida @_@ ... saludos

  • lmao, wow, mass conversation. congrats on the views keegs, it's good to see it.

  • wow its so peaceful and goes hand in hand with the music bravo, bella, inteligente.  O_O 5/5

  • lol - sorry but I had to comment after reading all the cute convo below me :)

    Wonderful video Zeno .. beautiful infact ,,

  • Thanks sweetkitten77, I appreciate that, but I don't think that I'm up for another massive conversation like the one below :). But thanks

  • I guess I say this to show that I am still wishing to talk and listen so return.

  • Because I live in the suburbs, and so I don't know much about urban life. My dad's from the country mostly, but my mom lived in the city pretty much her whole life, in NJ, right by New York. She went to New York a lot and was really rebellious, at war with the world, I guess. She was sensitive, but very passionate and fought a lot of up hill struggles. It's a mystery how she married my calm, optimistic dad.

  • Clear lake had a lot of mediocer intelligence. Pasadeana people dont even know north korea is communist. Alright this crap makes me mad lets talk about something else. Do you play video games.

  • I don't play video games very much now, but I have played a lot, like Zelda, tales of Symohonia, Spartan total Warrior, some of the old bond games. My friends play a lot of video games, like Hitman (which I bet you would like) and Oblivian. Really, just a lot of random games, so it's hard to get specific. How about you?

  • Im a staight up gamer. Thats all I do. I beat over 200 games. Now I hate platforms and play tactical ops on the computer. Its like counter strike. I know what you mean. If a game was being talked about I would know it.

  • Yeah, I'm not much of a platformer myself, but I love P.C. strategy games, like civ4 and stuff.

  • I knew your a strategist. The only strategy game I know are the close combats. Never heard civ4. Whats that about?

  • Basically, you pick a country/civilization, (France for example)and a leader (Napoleon for example). You then take that civilization and beginning with one city in the ancient era, transform it into a spraling empire of the modern times. All the while you are competing with other civ's for recourses, and other things and trying to be the best civ on your map.

  • Thats pretty cool. But Im sorry to say this is goodbye. Your a good guy stay honorable. Have a family of your own and stay sane.

  • Yeah, thanks man, I appreciate that. I hope that you clime out of this pit of insanity and retain your honor yourself. I'm sure that things will improve, just have hope.

  • I will stop now and see if you still want to talk. Watch cornol kurtz monoluge on youtube and taxi driver and you can see the point of my start.

  • I do want to keep talking, but I think that we'll communicate by massages rather than comments, just to keep things better organized so send me a message next if I don't send one to you first. I am assuming that you live in a city with you dad, but I am not sure. So do you think that you could explain like your basic surroundings? Just so I can get a mental picture. Not like how it looks so much as how it feels. (if that makes any sense.)

  • I do not know how the messages work. It comes back to my mind all the time. Ive been hit in the head a lot so I cant realy think as straight as I used to. I live in Pasadeana Texas. But before that I lived in a nice rich town clear lake. To me it feels stupid. Just like my wangster friends they dont know anything.

  • I have noticed that sane people cant see insane people. It seems to me that it is a overwhelming passion. All feelings like sad, mad, happy, and scared all combined in one distorted picture. Everyday it gets worse for me. I think more I feel more. My passions will be my down fall.

  • This world. These people. Cant understand life. Its their greed and luster that cuases their family name dishonor and shame. Unforgiveable.

  • Its my dad that holds me onto life without him a lot of maggets would be dead now. Im ready to die. This bores the hell out of me. Its allway sombody killed the good guy. I want to go deathwish on these scum. All over the world maggets feed off the good. I cant take it.

  • I keep thinking what is the point. If I kill these maggets their would just be more. I can just kill myself and who would care. Im not affraid of anything but I just dont see a point to life. Death is the greatist thing. Its rest from all the pain. To live is hard to die is easy.

  • We would be rich if it wasnt for that bitch. I just recently been looking into scientology. It pisses me staigth off. I hate them more then street thugs. Freaking cult. Its funny though when I look back when I was living with mom which we call x1. At the end when she left I watched conan the barbarian over and over. When I was 13. And now heres a cult. They think their tough guys.

  • A money wich I thought was my damu stole my xbox 360 and my dads laptop. Such dishonor. Thats when I realized these maggets are just for themselvs. My mom was a crack head. My dad put up with her for twenty years just for me and my sister. He is very honorable. One reason im joining the army. He studys a lot of law.

  • so calming. love it

  • Thanks man. I'm glad to have calmed your life a bit.

  • Did you know Beethoven didnt like this piece. He said it was to easy.

  • Yeah, I remember hearing something like that.

  • But I still love it. Good job.

  • Danken (Thanks)!

  • No thank you. How long have you been playing music.

  • I've been taking piano lessons for about 3-4 years, off and on, and then last summer I started the violin. I'm not professional or competitive or anything though. I just love to play.

  • Btw, do you have a music background yourself? I'm just wondering because I've found that usually fans of classical music do.

  • No I dont. But I grew up with it. My father learned the piano and cello from his dad. I forgot my grandfathers first name but do you know a Helton that conducts some Russian music stuff. I dont realy remember everything.

  • Classical is far better music than all that other crap out thier. A lot more disciplin in it and alot better sound. I noticed people that play classical music is alot more intelligent.

  • I always loved the sound of the cello, and that's cool that you grew up with it. I think that that's important. My dad played the mandolin, but his uncle was a concert pianist (Harrison Keegan.)I don't think that he got really famous, though. But From stories of him, I think that your right in your assumption on classical players because he always seamed very suave and intelligent.

  • Whats a mandolin. I never got to hear my dad play the cello. Helton is just known through Russian and some Americans. He conducts or whatever in Houston. Love how you said suave havent heard that in a while. I remember my dad teaching how to play chess when I was young and I saw a statue of Beethoven and it must have burned in to my head.

  • Basically, a mandolin is a guitar with 8 strings but only four pitches (same pitches as a violin so it's a high pitched instrument). Each of these eight strings are are split up into pairs by pitch, so each note has a twin string about 5 mm away letting the player alternate rapidly between the twin notes making a "tremolo." It's used in a lot of blue grass and Celtic music. It's sort of hard to explain, but a picture would help a lot.

  • That sounds interesting. I think I know what Celtic is but blue grass I dont. You described it pretty well. Im going to look that up.

  • Anyways,though, it was very interesting to talk to you about all of this random, mostly music, stuff. (btw, I found some mentioning of a conductor in Houston named John Helton. It may be your grandfather, but I can't be sure.) But, you seem to be a "suave" individual yourself able to hold a conversation well. Thanks for replying all of those times and continuing this correspondence, and thanks for watching the video.

  • Thats him. I thought his first name was John but didnt want to lie.I tried looking on google for Harrison Keegan but couldnt fin him. This is the best chat Ive had on you tube. Its good to know thats thiers good people out thier.

  • Im Ryan Helton and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Im still only in dep the delayed entry program. I have to get my G.E.D. I should be able to ship out september 21. Trust me talking to you helps a lot. I hope you still talk to me. No mean to be cheesy.

  • My mom was in the army, 7 years as a nurse from Fort Drum. She just managed to get out before her whole unit got shipped to Iraq. She was in her fifties, getting kind of old for it. I wont lie to you and say that the army is easy (which you probably know), but it is a good way to meet people and escape from the day to day grind. That's the only reason that my mom could stand it as she got older. And how is getting your G.E.D going? I hope it's going well, a lot of studying, though.

  • Thats good she got out before going to Iraq. Dont meen to be mean but I dont think females should go to a warzone medic or whatnot. I am not really a people person and theres evan maggets in the Army. Theres a lot of dishonor that has brought me to this point of madness.

  • Yeah I know what you mean, not being a peoples person, and your right about my mom. I doubt that the could've handled it. Too sensitive. If you feel comfortable enough, do you think that you could tell me about this "madness?" I love to listen, but only if your willing and comfortable.

  • Well women are just as stong as men but they give life so it just doesnt sit well with me. My madness is overwhelming. I all ways see maggets. I used to be affileated with 59 bounty hunter bloods sky blue. Real maggets.

  • Yeah, that's a lucky find, but I'm not surprised that you found my great uncle, he was around while ago. I'm glad that you've found this an interesting chat, and I would've been sad, too, if it ended. I'm really quiet and even shy online, so I don't talk much, and I find it funny that this whole thing just started with one simple comment about Beethoven.

  • Ya it is pretty funny. I have found out that a lot of things can start by one single simple thing. Theres a saying that the mouth is the source of all calamity. So it is definitly a good thing to be quiet.

  • Sorry for this being such a long message, and sorry for the past tense usage; it makes it seem so final (which it isn't, necessarily.) About the chess, I never learned, but that statue of Beethoven sounds pretty cool. I remember that Billy Joel had a cool bust on his piano.

  • Im pretty lonely so please dont apologise. I sit in my room doing nothing but look on youtube about scientology, Taxi Driver, and stuff on Iraq. I have been going crazy all this evil in the world. I was about to say forget it and just kill scientology people. But talking to you helps.
