things good to know (moonlight)

The sonata is divided into three movements,

The first of this sonata is open with a slow movement. It starts with the ostinato triplet that figures prominently throughout the sonata. This repetition is highly effective; it contributes to the feeling of emotional brooding that develops in the sonata.

I suggest that student need to pay attention on this beating heart: the rolling triplet accompaniment and the accompanying melody. It is the most recognizable musical feature of this work.  600px-Beethoven_piano_sonata_14_mvmt_1_bar_1-4

Feel free to be creative – if it helps you bring out the imaginative, fantasy-like side of the music, you can imagine your own story as you play or listen to this piece.

For example:

For the first movement, melody sounds very gloomy and sounds like desperate person dreaming about something that she/he desperately wants but it is impossible.

Second part of the song sound light, like a girl who were exciting to see and want to know everything surround her. Even though she found unexpected result and a little disappointed about it but she knows that it wasn’t bad to her and keep looking what surround her, try to study everything.

Third part is fast. It seems that someone running towards something with everything he got because no matter what he did in the past, the future will always be changed according to what he want it to be if he puts his heart, will, passion, and effort on it. Even though it is very hard and looks like everything in this world would turn you down, but there is some joyful on it.
