The Origin Of The Moonlight Sonata
She was a blind girl. She had never beheld the marvels of God's good earth - the blue waters of the river, the carpets of luxuriant green grass, the magnificent display of flowers in the garden, the moving clouds in the sky and the silver, shimmering moonlight that everyone seemed to grow ecstatic over!
She mentioned this to Beethoven, the distinguished composer and musician, who was a dear friend.
Beethoven wanted the young girl to feel the beauty of the moonlight, to experience what she could not see. So he created the immortal piece of music which is enjoyed today as the famous "Moonlight Sonata"!

Nice story - but I hate to be a party-pooper in saying that I've always understood that the title of 'Moonlight' was suggested by the PUBLISHER of the original work which, to Beethoven was simply the Sonata in C# minor (Opus 27 No 2). The publisher did indeed think the first movement of the work was evocative of moonlight, which I wouldn't argue with, but it is actually the Presto Agitato 3rd movement which bears the significant emotional weight of the Sonata. But, as I say, a nice, gentle and uplifting story, even if it is apocryphal. I'm willing to stand corrected if what I've always understood is incorrect and the story related is true.
