Moonlight Sonata

Ludwig van Beethoven


Submitted for the Weekly Informal Challenge, "Influential."



When I was around 30 I had never played the piano, but was enchanted with this piece of music.
So much so that I started having visions of actually being able to play it myself!
My husband then said "Find yourself someone who teaches adults and I'll buy you a piano."
It was a dream come true and I played for 10 years until problems with my eyes caused me to stop.
I will always get a special feeling whenever I hear Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata ....... talk about something being influential!!!!

Yes, what a great influence Beethoven was ... I played the piano as a child and I am so sorry I never kept it up. Fur Elise was my favourite to play.

Great use of layers to create a beautiful image and goes so well with the song title. Beautiful creative image. Excellent!!!

Great photo and subject for the challenge. The "Moonlight Sonata" is one of my favorites as well. I literally grew up with these as my grandfather had the complete set on LP's by Duetsche Grammophon with Wilhelm Kempff on the piano. I can still relive those memories as I have the set on CD. So I can totally understand why you chose this, especially as you can play it as well. "V"
