The Artist:
One of the greatest and most radical composers of all time. A tormented genius, who went deaf in later life and never heard his final works.

Composed:
1801
Info:
The first movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 'Quasi una fantasia' in C sharp minor Op. 27 No. 2, 'Moonlight' is one of the most popular piano pieces ever written. The sonata got its name when poet Ludwig Rellstab described the music as being 'like moonlight shining on a lake' in 1832.
