    Beethoven. Moonlight sonata. 1st movement. This whole sonata has been one of the most requested pieces, so here is the 1st movement! The next two movements will be coming soon, in a few months, unfortunately I'm not good enough to sightread the 3rd at tempo :( I just want to thank you all for being here and watching my videos, I'm practicing hard for something special for you next week!

    When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.
    When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."
    He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."
    Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."

    Fun fact, this was composed during the period when Beethoven’s hearing was deteriorating but not entirely gone, he could hear lower notes better than the higher ones then, hence the low notes in this song. Even then, he managed to produce this beautiful composition despite his condition.

      o cool, I like his attitude, imagine the sonorities ringing through the castle or wherever he was staying while he was there with a piano or a band. Sometimes I wonder if they could be heard through the whole town on a quiet night while they were practising/composing/jamming? 💯

      I don't think there were any bands in that time, besides orchestras and bands of street musicians. Any person in that time isn't anywhere "with a piano". The piano is with them. More precisely they are (mostly) bound by where some piano is. It's always been difficult to move those things anywhere. You wouldn't simply travel with it.

    I sent my brother a picture of the moonlight pouring through my window and the plants on the sill last night and this morning he sent me a lovely text of seeing the moon as he drove home on Friday and that it brought the Moonlight Sonata immediately to his mind. So...now I am listening to it again...a beautiful start to my day. Thank you, little brother!

    well tytyty.
    i've been playing this piece for about 50 years {first movement only, so far ...}.
    it's a gorgeous piece of music and it's quite clear to see why it is so loved and so played by so many.
    however, i have always played a couple of the base notes incorrectly.
    it's those double sharp things that always messed me up.
    i stumbled across you recently when i told myself i must try somehow and find a way to find out what i was doing wrong.
    i tell ya, i wish we would have had you in those good old days.
    all you lucky new young 'uns.
    relearning a piece that you've played incorrectly all this time is tough, but with your ideal view point looking down i've been able to see the correct notes being played and have corrected my playing and now sound as good as you ... well i could only wish, but i'm getting there.
    thanks again, what a wonderful way to learn.
    love and peace to you and all,

    When I was in fourth grade, I was being bullied a lot. I've always had a hard time talking to people, and I liked more to read during lunch than to converse. My teacher did nothing about the bullying, even when my OT counselor came in one day, observed what was going on, and complained directly to the principal. I don't remember much at all about 4th grade, leading me to suspect I may have blocked most of my memories from that year.
    There was only one person who stood up for me, and was the only one nice to me. I'll call him Martin for privacy's sake. Martin was the only one who would tell the bullies to leave me alone, and would help me out when I needed. One thing I remember distinctly about him was that he didn't like pizza, which, for a 9-year old me, was very strange.
    One day, our class went to the music room, and there Martin played a small part of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I was captivated, and I believe that moment to be the one where I decided to take piano lessons. I've been playing for about 6 years now, and wouldn't be here if it weren't for Martin and Moonlight Sonata.
    Shortly after, Martin moved away. I transferred to a private school for the rest of 4th grade, and had the best time at the private school. I loved my classmates there, and I loved my teacher. At the end of the year, he handed out these trophies to all of us. Mine was the Bravery Award, for overcoming hurdles that were not present for the other students. I still have the trophy.

I have to play it everyday everyday once. It’s a beautiful piece, one of pain, sorrow and closure. It brings it all out.

      I had an epiphany moment when I was a kid because of a friend's love of classical music. I went to his house to buy a computer from him, and he invited me into his room and said "You've got to listen to this!" and proceeded to play a record of Beethoven and I was blown away. Not by Beethoven at the time but by my friend, who was as excited by this music as others were of contemporary popular music. And I did start listening to classical after that. I don't think that we are superior, but there is a difference between Classical, planned music, and popular music. I only play popular music, on piano and guitar, but I get lost in classical and other planned musics. One of the most engrossing forms today is a well written and performed movie soundtrack especially one that is very well used in a good movie. My favorite composer of that genre is Klaus Badelt.

Find the beauty in it's sadness, like a mother that finds goodness in her son no matter how sad he makes her feel. Or a lover that is hurt by his partner but can never leave. Sometimes, our darkest side is what makes us beautiful. I listen to this and remember how true emotion translate into music. You're a legend Beethoven, but were a person in pain composing this movement. Thank you for sharing your pain. for allowing us to realize that sadness in music is sometimes what makes us happy.

Some of the sections that were harder for me I wrote down and practiced a lot to make it a little easier until I had it memorized. I'm not sure if that helps at all but that's what worked out for me.

    When I listen to this piece, I always get this feeling of a story:
    September 1939, A village in Poznan, Poland. A Jewish family, A father, his wife, and a young and talented Pianist live in a small village, the young boy was sort of a celebrity there. He was a very bright youth, many wondered how is he not a city boy? One night, as the family prepared to sleep and the boy was playing the piano, their radio suddenly turned on, it reported
    "On September 6,1939 .The German Third Reich has invaded our country and are now headed to Warsaw. Rumors also arise that the Soviet Union will likely join as part of the Non-Agression pact." The radio managed to send the broadcast before suddenly stopping, the Father was worried about his family's safety, he brought out a rifle as Planes buzzed around the village, it would soon unleash hell. The boy ran towards the stairs and down to the basement, just in time before the village was bombed, he braced him self under the sturdy stair case. It soon went quiet though, the planes could no longer be heard, he went out to investigate, all he found was rubble around the village and the bodies of his parents crushed on the debris, he was filled with grief, he approached the piano, which was still intact by a miracle ,with only the moon's light to guide him, he Played Moonlight Sonata. German soldiers began to arrive but were awed upon hearing it. An officer was frustrated that his men were hesitating to advance, so he took a rifle and shot at the young boy, it hit his left shoulder. In defiance, he kept on playing, before finishing the piece, and slumping on the piano. Dying of blood loss, a tragic story.

      The 2nd and 3rd movement may be more advanced, but in terms of musicality and beauty, the 1st movement is much more pleasing to the ear as it is portrays emotional depth and connects our feelings to the piece in a profound matter.

      I like the 3rd movement because I hate slow things for some reason. Don't know why tho.
