* Moonlight Sonata
The Piano Sonata No. 14 in
C-sharp minor "
Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27,
No. 2, popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata, is a piano sonata by
Ludwig van Beethoven. Completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil,
Countess Giulietta Guicciardi. it is one of
Beethoven's most popular compositions for the piano.
The first movement of Beethoven's
Piano Sonata No. 14 'Quasi una fantasia' in
C sharp minor Op. 27 No. 2, '
Moonlight' is one of the most popular piano pieces ever written. The sonata got its name when poet
Ludwig Rellstab described the music as being 'like moonlight shining on a lake' in 1832.
The first edition of the score is headed
Sonata quasi una fantasia, a title this work shares with its companion piece, Op. 27,
No. 1.
Grove Music Online translates the
Italian title as "sonata in the manner of a fantasy". Translated more literally, this is "sonata almost a fantasy".
The name "Moonlight Sonata" comes from remarks made by the
German music critic and poet Ludwig Rellstab. In 1832, five years after Beethoven's death, Rellstab likened the effect of the first movement to that of moonlight shining upon
Lake Lucerne.
Within ten years, the name "Moonlight Sonata" ("
Mondscheinsonate" in
German) was being used in German and
English publications.
Later in the nineteenth century, the sonata was universally known by that name.
There is a story that Beethoven was asked by a young blind girl to describe the moon and the light it cast into the darkness of night.
Perhaps, through his artistic explanation, the young girl might better understand the outside world into which she seldom ventured due to her blindness
... Rather than using words, Beethoven sat with the young girl at the piano and composed Moonlight Sonata. Might Beethoven have felt the rays of moonlight through the window on the keyboard? Was he inspired by the moonlight gently resting on the girl’s face?
Whatever the motivation, Beethoven set into motion a miracle that freed this young blind girl from the isolation of her home and escorted her through the lighted forest of her thoughts and dreams.
