About Piano Sonata No. 14 “Moonlight”

Beethoven’s Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, marked Quasi una fantasia, Op. 27, No. 2, is a piano sonata written by Ludwig van Beethoven.

The marking, Quasi una fantasia, can be interpreted from the Italian title as “in the nature of a fantasy,” or, “as if improvised.”

Moonlight Sonata  is written three movements, with the First Movement, sometimes called (nicknamed, technically) “The Moonlight Sonata,” being probably the most famous.  However, all three movements, especially the main themes of each, are familiar to countless millions over the last two centuries.  (I mean, this is Ludwig van Beethoven we’re talking about here!)

Where did the name “Moonlight Sonata” come from?

Beethoven dedicated his Piano Sonata No. 14 “Moonlight” to his pupil, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi.  He later confessed to a friend that he was in love with her at the time. The nickname “Moonlight” was not given to Sonata No. 14 by Beethoven himself.  It came into popularity after a music critic at the time used “moonlight” when writing his own descriptive review of the work.
