Behind the Sonata:

“Moonlight Sonata,” officially known as Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2, was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1801. This piece features a distinctive three-movement structure, with the first movement characterized by its tranquil and flowing melody, often evoking a sense of introspection. The sonata reflects Beethoven’s emotional depth, marking a significant shift in his compositional style during the early Romantic period. It gained widespread popularity after the composer’s death, becoming one of his most celebrated works and a staple of the classical piano repertoire.
