Our letter note-name labeled sheet music can be extremely helpful to former students returning to the piano after months or years, especially those who’ve had significant experience reading music, but who’ve forgotten too many details. Ideally, a private teacher would guide the student back, but there are always millions who don’t have access to a private teacher. This is a very common issue with former students returning to piano. In addition, there are other challenging situations and/or impediments to reading sheet music that can be reduced or eliminated, by the addition of these musical note names.

About Beethoven’s 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 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.”

The piece is in three movements, with the First Movement, sometimes called (nicknamed, technically) “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.)

Completed in 1801, Beethoven dedicated Sonata No.14 to his pupil, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi.  He 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” in his descriptions of the work.
