Description on Youtube:
Beethoven Moonlight Sonata (actually the Piano Sonata no 14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2 by Ludwig van Beethoven) is one of the famous classical piano works in the world. Completed was Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi."The change that has taken place in me now is caused by a sweet, wonderful girl who loves me and is loved by me." - wrote Beethoven.
Moonlight Sonata was published in Bonn, although from the first months of 1802 Juliet had a clear preference for the composer Wenzel Galenberg and, as a result, married him. Six months after writing the sonata, October 6, 1802, Beethoven wrote desperately "Heiligenstadt testament." Some Beethoven scholars believe that it was to the Countess Guicciardi that the composer addressed a letter, known as a letter "to an immortal lover." It was discovered after the death of Beethoven in the secret drawer of his wardrobe. Beethoven kept a miniature portrait of Juliet along with this letter and "Heiligenstadt testament."
Moonlight Sonata is one of Beethoven's most popular compositions for the piano.
