“Quasi una fantasia” is Beethoven’s words for sonata no. 14, it means almost a fantasy. It’s popularly called the moonlight sonata after a well known music critic in those days (around mid 18hundreds) Ludwig Rellstab compared it to a moonlit night reflecting on the Lake Lucerne. These fantasies and moonlights are what these guys saw when they heard it. What do you feel when you hear it?

The 1st movement of this sonata is the most popular among Beethoven’s works. So popular that even Beethoven himself, got tired of it’s popularity and started saying “Surely, I’ve written better things”. 🙂
