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"!
