Contents.Names The first edition of the score is headed Sonata quasi una fantasia, a title this work shares with its companion piece,. Translates the Italian title as ' in the manner of a '. The title could also be interpreted to imply '.as though improvised'.The name 'Moonlight Sonata' comes from remarks made by the German music critic and poet.
In 1832, five years after Beethoven's death, Rellstab likened the effect of the first movement to that of moonlight shining upon. Within ten years, the name 'Moonlight Sonata' (' Mondscheinsonate' in German) was being used in German and English publications. Later in the nineteenth century, the sonata was universally known by that name.Many critics have objected to the subjective, romantic nature of the title 'Moonlight', which has at times been called 'a misleading approach to a movement with almost the character of a funeral march' and 'absurd'. Other critics have approved of the sobriquet, finding it evocative or in line with their own interpretation of the work. Founder found the title 'harmless', remarking that 'it is silly for austere critics to work themselves up into a state of almost hysterical rage with poor Rellstab', and adding, 'what these austere critics fail to grasp is that unless the general public had responded to the suggestion of moonlight in this music Rellstab's remark would long ago have been forgotten.' Form Although no direct testimony exists as to the specific reasons why Beethoven decided to title both the Op.
27 works as Sonata quasi una fantasia, it may be significant that the layout of the present work does not follow the traditional movement arrangement of fast–slow–fast–fast. Instead, the sonata possesses an end-weighted trajectory, with the rapid music held off until the third movement. In his analysis, German critic states: 'The opening movement gave the work a definite character from the beginning. Which succeeding movements could supplement but not change.
Beethoven rebelled against this determinative quality in the first movement. He wanted a, an introduction, not a proposition.”The sonata consists of three. Performed by Paul Pitman for (6:03)Problems playing this file? See.The first movement, in, is written in modified sonata-allegro form. The movement opens with an octave in the left hand and a figuration in the right.
A melody that called a 'lamentation'mostly by the right hand, is played against an accompanying triplet rhythm, simultaneously played by the right hand.The movement is played or 'very quietly', and the loudest it gets is piano or 'quietly'.The adagio sostenuto has made a powerful impression on many listeners; for instance, Berlioz said of it that it 'is one of those poems that human language does not know how to qualify'. Beethoven's student called it 'a nocturnal scene, in which a mournful ghostly voice sounds from the distance'. The movement was very popular in Beethoven's day, to the point of exasperating the composer himself, who remarked to Czerny, 'Surely I've written better things.'

(8:14)Problems playing this file? See.The stormy final movement (C ♯ minor), in sonata form, is the weightiest of the three, reflecting an experiment of Beethoven's (also carried out in the companion sonata and later on in ), namely, placement of the most important movement of the sonata last. The writing has many fast /broken chords, strongly accented notes, and fast sequences that fall both into the right and left hands at various times.
An effective performance of this movement demands lively and skillful playing, great stamina, and is significantly more demanding technically than the 1st and 2nd movements.Of the final movement, has written 'it is the most unbridled in its representation of emotion. Even today, two hundred years later, its ferocity is astonishing.'
Beethoven's heavy use of notes, together with just a few strategically located passages, creates the sense of a very powerful sound in spite of the predominance of markings throughout. See also:, andAt the opening of the work, Beethoven included the following direction in Italian: 'Si deve suonare tutto questo pezzo delicatissimamente e senza sordino' ('This whole piece ought to be played with the utmost delicacy and without dampers' ). The way this is accomplished (both on today's pianos and on those of Beethoven's day) is to depress the throughout the movement – or at least to make use of the damper pedal throughout, but changing the pedal as the harmony changes.Performers often hesitate to follow Beethoven's direction, particularly when playing on a modern piano. This is because the modern piano has a much longer sustain time than the, so that a steady application of the damper pedal creates a dissonant sound. In contrast, performers who employ a historically based instrument (either a restored old piano or a modern instrument built on historical principles) tend to be more willing to follow Beethoven's direction literally.For performance on the modern piano, several options have been put forth. One option is simply to change the damper pedal periodically where necessary to avoid excessive dissonance.
This is seen, for instance, in the editorially supplied pedal marks in the of the sonata. —a technique involving a partial depression of the damper pedal—is also often used to simulate the shorter sustain of the early nineteenth century pedal. Suggested either half-pedaling or releasing the pedal a fraction of a second late. suggests using the: the pianist should pedal cleanly while allowing sympathetic vibration of the low bass strings to provide the desired 'blur'. This is accomplished by silently depressing the piano's lowest bass notes before beginning the movement, then using the sostenuto pedal to hold these dampers up for the duration of the movement.Influence The C ♯ minor sonata, particularly the third movement, is held to have been the inspiration for 's, and that the Fantaisie-Impromptu was actually a tribute to Beethoven. It manifests the key relationships of the sonata's three movements, chord structures, and even shares some passages. Writes: 'With the aid of the Fantaisie-Impromptu we can at least recognize what particular features of the C ♯ minor Sonata struck fire in Chopin.
We can actually regard Chopin as our teacher as he points to the coda and says, 'Look here, this is great. Take heed of this example!' The Fantaisie-Impromptu is perhaps the only instance where one genius discloses to us – if only by means of a composition of his own – what he actually hears in the work of another genius.'

I'm currently learning this at the moment (along with the first and second momements). So far, I have found that it is a little easier than it initally looks on paper, but the difficulty is making a convincing interpretation of it - a little like a Mozart sonata I suppose.Personally, I was not keen on the interpretation in the above post - was a little rushed for my taste. I don't think it is really a piece which needs speeding up too much once learnt. So, I do believe it is manageable - I'm only have time to work on it at weekends also (along with far too much other stuff), so good luck.
