Beethoven “Moonlight Sonata“ with Paintings of Moonlight

⬇︎Links to Beethoven MOONLIGHT SONATA SERIES posted below⬇︎ Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata“ was composed in 1801 at the time Beethoven was beginning to lose his hearing. The nickname “Moonlight Sonata’“ came about 30 years after its composition. The Romantic poet Rellstab conjured up the image in a review - which subsequently stuck to the work - of the dreamy first movement being like “a boat floating in the moonlight on Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne”. To make this video, I searched for classical paintings of moonlight with a sense of stillness and added my recording of the first movement. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ HOME RECORDING ON FEURICH 218 PIANO Complete: 1st mov: 2nd mov: 3rd mov: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TUTORIAL: Tutorial 1st mov: https:/
