This video was made using MAGIX Movie Edit Pro MX Plus.
This song is adapted from Ludwig van Beethoven's 1st Movement of a three part piano sonata. The first movement is known as the Adagio Sostenuto, or, as Beethoven himself named it, “Sonata quasi una fantasia”. And yet the world of music knows it as the “Moonlight Sonata” – an epithet that was already around during the composer's lifetime. The entire three part Sonata is fully known as "The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, marked Quasi una fantasia, Op. 27, No. 2.

This video is taken from the Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement in a much shortened form. I will, in a few weeks from now, post the entire 1st Movement, or the Adagio Sostenuto, in full.
