Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata is one of his most famous pieces of music. Most people have heard it and many want to play it. What makes this such a popular work? Step inside the mind of Beethoven as we explore the features that make the opening movement so memorable, including the hypnotic impact of the triplet accompaniment figure, the distinctive nature of the melodic line with its repeated notes and dotted rhythms, as well as the twists and turns that keep the listener engaged in the harmony. All of this sits in the context of the unexpected Adagio opening movement but above all, Beethoven makes an emotional impact that is immediately engaging and continually draws us back to this iconic movement.
