Beethoven Moonlight Sonata mvt 1 classical piano

visit my webpage - http://www.joolsscott.co.uk
The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2, by Ludwig van Beethoven, is popularly known as the "Moonlight" Sonata. The work was completed in 1801[1] and rumored to be dedicated to his pupil, 17-year-old Countess Giulietta Guicciardi,[2] with whom Beethoven was, or had been in love.[3] The name "Moonlight" Sonata derives from an 1832 description of the first movement by music critic Ludwig Rellstab, who compared it to moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne.[4][1]

Beethoven included the phrase "Quasi una fantasia" (Italian: Almost a fantasy)[5] in the title partly because the sonata does not follow the traditional sonata pattern where the first movement is in regular sonata form, and where the three or four movements are arranged in a fast-slow-[fast]-fast sequence.

Thanks Gavriilia... I love this piece!! One day i will play better :)

[Athrianous]

I hate to say, "play with your heart", but umm ... it's more or less like a robot is playing it. No accents? No dynamics? I feel like if I looked at your face you'd be creepily staring at me with no emotion. And you don't always have to play ON the beat ... good job, anyway if playing like its written is your style.

thanks for your tips Athri.... i personally see this piece as deeply desolate and heart torn, with an incredible sadness about it. the slow, steady take on playing it is one i've grown to love. understated and hypnotic.

i find your point interesting. which performance of this piece rocks your boat?

peace x

I play this while im on black ops, telling dramatic stories of what happened in the last game.

[AGavriilia]

Very nice played and with a lot of feeling!

Every musical piece on youtube is complete with some random commenter claiming the artist lacks passion. I think someone is jealous.

what kind of piano is that? it sounds nice

[1varvarez]

yes the background noise was annoying but I got sucked into the music and the ambiance added a quality to this piece that is remarkably correct considering how soft this piece should be played. you all got sucked into this, didn't you?

BRAVO!!

[Bubabaluba]

Makes my heart sway.

Corny but true.
