Beethoven's 14th piano sonata, AKA "Moonlight Sonata," was composed in the summer of 1801 in Hungary, on an estate belonging to the Brunswick family. The composition was published in 1802 and was dedicated to Beethoven’s pupil and passion, 17 years old Countess Giulietta Gucciardi.
The Sonata is one of the most popular piano sonatas from Beethoven’s creation. It is also named “The Moonlight Sonata” by poet Ludwig Rellstab who, in 1832, had this inspiration on a moon lit night on the banks of the Lucerna River. Some biographers make the connection between the unshared love the composer held for Giulietta Guicciardi and the sonorities of the first part. Even more so, this sonata was dedicated to Giulietta, the musical theme of the first part being borrowed from a German ballad as Wyzewa observed.
The piano sonata has three parts. The parts of the sonata give the impression of a whole first of all through the elaboration of themes and motifs. Consequently, the main musical theme of the first part becomes very elaborate in the second part, and the second motif of the main theme will be encountered in the first theme of part III.

Camper Van Beethoven
Camper Van Beethoven
We Love You
Allah u'akbar
Hare krishna
Praise the lord
And merry christmas
Aw, praise (beatrice)
And hare krishna
Aw, merry krishna
Aw, allah u'akbar
In the interest of democracy repressive action were taken
In order to preserve democracy, repressive action were taken
Well we went down to georgia, we were looking for some fun
Instead we met the devil with a fiddle and a gun
And he said i'm the baddest fiddler anywhere in the land
And when he proved it to us, well, we let him join the band
And he said
Well, the devil he don't have the bomb
And the devil he don't have a gun
The devil hasn't got a car
And the devil he can't play guitar
Dl: rain cloud, moving red, a piece of a galaxy
J: air enormous disgusting parts of a moon
V: babbling babbling landing color of blue white [blah blah] velvet
Dl: what's that? good [blah], a dull new land
J: a horrifying glad magnificent star babbling daphnia, a pulsing
V: a magnificent yellow speculation of velvet light a token rain cloud babbling (woofy)
Dl: a token velvet good. new land
J: [blah blah]
D: a new land

Dear friends and lovers of classical music from around the world,
I am truly touched to see how Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata continues to move and unite so many people, even more than 10 years after the video was published on my channel. It warms my heart to read your comments filled with shared emotions and thoughts, coming from every corner of the planet and from all ages and generations.
Today, I'd like to propose an emotional and introspective experiment: describe your emotions and thoughts in real-time as you listen to the Moonlight Sonata. Before you start, if you can, put on a pair of headphones and restart the video from the beginning, immersing yourself completely in your emotions.
Here's how to do it:
1 - Start writing a comment as soon as the video begins.
2 - Describe what you're feeling and the thoughts that come to mind as you listen to the melody.
3 - Let yourself go, without worrying about how long the comment is, whether there are spelling mistakes, or if you jump from one thought to another. Emotions don't follow a logical thread.
4 - Keep writing for the entire duration of the video.
5 - Ten seconds before the end of the video, hit "send" without rereading what you wrote.
Feel free to write in your native language or the one you dream in, to make this experience even more personal and emotional. And remember to write a new comment instead of replying to this message, so your contribution doesn't get lost among the comments.
I can't wait to read your streams of consciousness and discover how this wonderful composition makes you feel, through the different cultures and languages.
Enjoy listening and happy writing to all!

“The music is coming from behind this door.”
“This same song can convey different emotions depending on who plays it. This rendition of moonlight sonata is like darkness itself.”
“An endless, deep abyss.”
“With a single strand of light piercing through…”
“Is that the moonlight? Or is it…”
Just felt like putting this here since there are a lot of eminence in shadow readers here.

Im coming from the pianist i watched already and it was amazing also this music is insane
@pseudoonimm
so interesting to me that even though I listen to all types of music (including other classical arrangements), something about Moonlight Sonata specifically has always drawn me to it
@wdgaster6252
thats a great experiment love your work
@andrearomano6
@@Greg-yn5ml I don't want this thought to be lost. I ask you to repost it as a comment and not under my message. It would be a waste to leave it here.
Thank you for sharing this.

Imagine suffering from depression in 1801 and Beethoven just casually drops this banger out of nowhere
