Beethoven Moonlight Sonata No.14 Opus 27 No 2
This is just the Adagio sostenuto from the Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, marked Quasi una fantasia, Op. 27, No. 2, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven.The piece was completed in 1801, published the following year, and premiered by the composer himself even though his hearing was already deteriorating at the time. The nickname Moonlight Sonata can be traced to German poet Ludwig Rellstab, who published a review in which he likened the first movement of the piece to a boat floating in the moonlight on Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne. Beethoven actually dedicated the work to Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, a 16-year-old aristocrat who was his student for a short time.
I have included four versions of this movement, played on different instruments - a Steinway, Bosendorfer, Yamaha and Bluthner
Steinway D-274 is the first instrument,
Bösendorfer Concert Grand 290 Imperial begins at 7:10
Yamaha CFX Concert Grand begins at 14:02
Blüthner 1895 begins at 20:59
At some point I'll upload the other movements (with just one piano).
I'd be interested to know which sound you prefer.
