  1. Under the Moonlight

    The first movement of the “Moonlight Sonata” by Ludwig Von Beethoven is one of the most beautiful piano pieces that has ever been composed. It’s one of the first classical pieces I learned to play as a high school boy.

  2. Moonlight Sonata, Vintage

    Back in the day, I played classical music almost exclusively. Beethoven’s 14th piano sonata, commonly known as the “Moonlight” sonata, was one of my favorite pieces. The first and second movements were well within my reach. To this day I cannot play the third movement. This recording was made April 4, 1981 at the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of my Grandfather and Grandmother Anthony, on a simple cassette recorder.

  3. Solfeggietto

    I was exposed to this piece as a child, and it’s always been one of my favorites. I had, however, never learned to play it. So a while back I decided to add it to my repertoire, and this is the (current) result. Of course, with classical music, no recording can ever be exactly perfect, and this is no exception. I have a long way to go with this piece, but you’ll get the idea when you listen.
