Beethoven's Story and Moonlight Music

One autumn, Beethoven traveled and performed everywhere and came to a small town on the Rhine. One night, he was walking along a quiet path and heard the intermittent piano sound coming from a small room, playing his music.

Beethoven approached the hut, the piano suddenly stopped and someone was talking in the room. A girl said, "How difficult it is to play this song! I've only heard others play it several times, but I don't remember how to play it. If only I could listen to how Beethoven played himself! " A man said, "Yes, but the tickets for the concert are too expensive. We are too poor." The girl said, "Don't be sad, brother, I'm just saying."

Beethoven heard this, pushed open the door and came in quietly. A candle was lit in the hut. In the dim candlelight, men are making leather shoes. There is an old piano in front of the window. In front of it sat a girl of sixteen or seventeen. Her face is delicate, but she is blind.

Seeing a stranger come in, the shoemaker stood up and asked, "Who are you looking for, sir?" ? Wrong door, right? "Beethoven said," no, I'm here to play a tune for this girl. "

The girl quickly stood up and offered her seat. Beethoven sat in front of the piano and played the tune that the blind girl had just played. After listening to God's words, the blind girl played a song and said excitedly, "How skillfully you play! How deep the feelings are! You, you are Mr. Beethoven? "

Beethoven didn't answer. He asked the blind girl, "Do you like listening? Let me play another song for you. "

A gust of wind blew out the candle. The moonlight shone through the window, and everything in the hut seemed to be covered with silver gauze, which made it very quiet. Beethoven looked at the two brothers and sisters standing beside him and pressed the keys in the quiet moonlight.

The shoemaker listened quietly. He seems to face the sea, and the moon rises from where the water meets the sky. On the surface of the microwave, the silver light scattered instantly. The moon rose higher and higher, passing through thin clouds like a veil.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew on the sea and rolled up huge waves. The waves sparkled in the moonlight and rushed to the shore one by one ... The shoemaker looked at her sister, and the moonlight shone on her quiet face, her eyes wide open. She seemed to see something she had never seen before, the rough sea in the moonlight.

Brother and sister were intoxicated by the wonderful piano sound. When they regained consciousness, Beethoven had left the hut. He flew back to the inn and spent the whole night recording the music he just played-Moonlight Song.

Extended data

This piece of music is divided into three movements:

The first movement, Adagio continuo, C sharp minor, 2/2 time, trilogy. Sonata fantasy and impromptu soft lyrics. Contrary to the traditional form of piano sonata, Beethoven used adagio in the first movement of this piece, and the slow melody revealed a trace of sadness.

The second movement, Allegro, D flat major, 3/4 time, trilogy. In this movement, Beethoven once again "does the opposite", changing the traditional piano sonata, which has always been the second movement of adagio, and adopting a very brisk rhythm. The short, pithy and beautiful melody is in sharp contrast with the first movement.

The third movement, Allegro Excitement, in C minor, in 4/4 time, sonata form. This movement has exquisite structure, wonderful piano effect and rich music content. The stormy melody contains all kinds of complicated piano skills, expressing a resentful mood and high fighting spirit.
