    It is called as "Moonlight Sonata" because once a blind girl asked Beethoven how did the moon and the night looked like. And this masterpiece was Beethoven's reply!

      No, it's called Moonlight Sonata because someone compared the piece to a moon shining over a lake.

  • @rossy3lo
    @rossy3lo Před 4 lety +1084

    I found that there are so many funny comments here, thinking that Moonlight sonata is about describing the night sky and the moon. Moonlight Sonata is actually about missing someone so badly, the desperation, the sweetness of love that still lingers, the bitterness of disappointment and then the madness caused by missing that one person so very bad. It has nothing to do with the night sky.
    Edit: whoa, thx for so many likes. I do understand that some people think that music can be freely interpreted, however in classical music, to disregard the original inspiration of the composer, IMHO is being disrespectful. Just because music doesnt have words, doesnt mean it shouldnt be understand deeply. Imagine if this Sonata is a poem that you write about your unrequited love, you poured your sadness, longing n disappointment into your poem and then some people interpret that your poem is actually about something totally unrelated which is the beauty of the moon.

    • @twinendymion947

    • @twinendymion947
      @twinendymion947 Před 3 lety +50

      Yeah
      1st movement is missing someone so badly, the desperation
      2nd movement is the love that still lingers
      And the 3rd movement being the bitterness of disappointment and the madness
      The whole entire feel of the sonata

    The most perfect melancholic song , written by a genius who was deaf at the moment but despite his hearing condition , using frequencies managed to turn music into vibration that he could detect and that is exactly why this song has this magnificent effect of purifying your soul .
    If we are advanced as a specie right now and we developed technologies and careers , cities , entertainment , arts we own that to people like Beethoven , Mozard, Vivaldi , Tsaikovski , Schubert , Chopin , Strauss , etc etc .
    Thanks to their music , our brain unlocked abilities previously unknown to us , painting , poetry , dancing all kind of talents were appearing all over the place.
    It takes intelligence to create music and takes also intelligence to appreciate music .

    I found this piece by accident. For about a week now, I haven't stopped listening to it. I have also heard several interpretations, but this one has something special, it makes it connect with my soul in a unique way. I am a forced migrant and my heart was scattered in various places, this music makes me connect with myself. I didn't know the performer, but one day I would like to hear him perform live, I am a Venezuelan displaced by the dictatorship, I now live in Chile.

I think this is the best version I have ever heard. Seems like dramatic praise, but the sympathy of the orchestra was held in captivation by that melancholy lento of that extraordinarily expressive piano. Bravo doesn't touch my gratitude.

    The consistency low key piano notes to show how the night skies remain dark with no
    Sunlight, only moonlight. Other high musical notes from different instruments to replicate the night vibes and sounds, weather etc. I don’t even know what I’m talking about just a straight feeling that I’m directly having with this song first time I’ve heard it in a while.

      This piece has nothing to do with the night sky. Moonlight sonata is a piece written about heartbreak, missing someone so badly, so painful, haunted by memories, the sweetness of love that still lingers but leads to madness and desperation because that love is out of reach. NOTHING TO DO with night sky or moon.

    So very nice, thanks! I don't know classical music so good, when I heard this I thought it was very good. The pianist plays with a great feeling, don't think I heard this piece so good before. Then I start to think "is it usually an orchestra with the piano?" I then read the info. The orchestra part is really lifting the music, and I think it's a perfect match with the character of the original piano piece. Really good (sorry for bad English)

    moonlight sonata is about grief. It is quite clear. The piece starts as if some thoughts arise like bubbles on the surface of the mind. They soon turn melancholic and intense and the whole body is swaying under a wave of grief. Finally it subsides into a peaceful state.

    what makes enchants me about this song is the simplicity of the tempo. most of the notes in the piece are supposed ot have the same value. yet somehow you cannot hear it after a while. it becomes the whole world. like the background noise of a summer breeze at night. and someone is contemplating their life outside while been hit by that constant summer breeze reminding them of the constant forward movement of time.

    It's a relatively simple piece, but requires an enormous energy to play correctly. Because it's slow, the complexity has transferred to the delicateness of each key press and in the timing of these press. The melody has to float above the rest. The trio has to be precisely smooth
