The Tragic Story Behind Moonlight Sonata

Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," officially known as "Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor 'Quasi una fantasia,' Op. 27, No. 2," is one of his most famous and beloved piano compositions. Composed in 1801, it is renowned for its hauntingly beautiful and evocative first movement.
Key Features:
First Movement (Adagio sostenuto): This movement is characterized by its slow, flowing melody and gentle arpeggios, creating a dreamy and introspective atmosphere.
Second Movement (Allegretto): A lighter and more playful movement, providing a contrast to the somber first movement.
Third Movement (Presto agitato): The final movement is dramatic and intense, showcasing Beethoven's virtuosity and emotional depth.
