Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, Opus 27 no 2, is one of the most famous piano pieces of all time. While many people are intimately familiar with the first movement, which is slow and contemplative, the three movements as a set offer a wide range of expression, creating a true musical journey!
This performance was done at Treelawn Music Hall in the Waterloo Arts District in Cleveland, just up the street from Living Pianos showrooms. It was performed on a rebuilt 1951 Steinway model D 9-foot concert grand, which was acquired from Living Pianos and has been featured in concerts by world-class jazz artists such as Fred Hersch and Bill Charlap.

Delighted to hear you playing the most wonderful sonata! I still can’t figure out why I had so much trouble learning the second movement! Eventually I just skipped it! No problem with the third movement when I was a teenager.
The second movement is the least obvious one to grasp. But it is delightful music!
