Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (1st Movement) [Piano Tutorial] 

thank you

good point

It's good anyway to start over again if you fail because then while you're getting to that point where you failed you're building up focus and adrenaline because you don't want to start over again.

@@4samul it actually isnt because you play the same part which you can already play over and over again so its just wasting time instead of just practicing the part where you failed

@@kaihagemann9928 I don't believe that. I believe it's always to good to play the same part even if you can play it, and also when you do succeed it's much more rewarding.

@@kaihagemann9928 yeah my piano teacher says that too

I hope in some years I'll come back and say me too

Apostolis Moshopoulos you don’t need to wait years. The piece will only take a few months, six at most if you’re determined.

Apostolis Moshopoulos I’ve been at it for one month. I’m at two minutes. I learn the fastest when I’m excited about it. Record yourself playing when you learn a new section. Then only listen to it when you’re out and away from the piano. You’ll hopefully hear yourself in a different setting and be impressed. I almost always come back to the piano later that day, really excited to learn more.

The beginning of it is actually one the more easier songs I’ve learned!:)

Gg

dude the third movement is *dies*...........

Hi! Self taught pianist here:) I've learnt the third movement and my best advice is to take it slow from the beginning and to regularly practice. For the very busy parts, i suggest breaking it up into sections and working on it one section at a time and gradually combining it together as you go! Happy playing!💜

Really enjoyed reading the comments and replies while listening to it

The hard part comes at the 3rd movement.

+MusikAlltid mastering this "easy" piece is not as easy as it seems

Mistermathew999 I know, I can still play this piece without trouble though.

What about people whose hands and/or fingers are paralysed

PUFFBALL (My dog), I COMMAND YOU TO PLAY MOONLIGHT SONATA 3RD MOVEMENT.

About a month. Besides, I couldn't play every day, i have a job)

LMAO XDDD

-😍🐸☹️

I actually go to Walmart and they played it. Everything just floats away.

lol, i cant stop laughing.

ehab nofal to the top you go.

I agree.

ehab nofal this might kill your joke and you might already know but I don´t give a poop :v i´m going to say it anyways Beethoven wrote the Moonlight Sonata for his girlfriend, they couldn´t see each other becuse they lived far away, she lived in Narnia or somthing like that, so then Maestrissímo Beethoven wrote letters to her and wrot the moonlight sonata, buuuuuut shit started to happen, his girlfriend wrote him a letter that she was goingo to marry (arranged marriage of corse) with her neighbor and Maestrissímo Beethoven got PISSED OFF and that is what the 3rd movement means, you can fell the anger and desperation of Beethoven in that masterpiece, and you know wht this woman couldn´t get married with my ninja Beethoven, its becuse 1.- they lived waaaay to far, and ninja beethoven aint got time fo that, and no. 2.- Beethoven didn´t have (it don´t how to say it in english) "titulos de honor" and Beethoven didn´t want any becuse he wanted everyone to be the same, that no one was better then another person, when they told me this story I was like daaaaaaaam, he is humble all the way, that is what every musician needs, they need to be humble. Big respects to Maestro Beethoven and thank God that they ddin´t get married and that Beethoven maid that masterpiece. (sorry for my bad english, I usually don´t use it anymore)

***** awesome, i didn't know this

***** How can you not use an international language...?

DamiDNC move ur hand

ITS not hard, it's just really long to learn this song

This piece is pretty easy, it just takes a long time. The song sorta repeats itself halfway through, just in another key. It's quite a long song though.

Recordist Not a song though

There's 3 movements in this song. The 3rd movement is one of the most difficult pieces ever written.

Javier L. What are you talking about? Moonlight sonata is a song.

Nah

Part 2 is when he comes back with his toy. Part 3 is when you realise he actually brought a dead cat.

You are so original and funny jk stfu bitch

@@heimlershistory9731 Shup tf up nobody asked

"it" how appropriate

I sorta wonder if Beethoven was one of the forerunners of the Internet Troll. My Reasoning: Beethoven was fairly well established as a composer at this point in his life. This movement (1st) is the slowest movement of this sonata, and though it's complex to a really enjoyable extent, I kinda suspect it was actually designed to make listeners initially think "sounds nice, but geez... it sounds really, uh, simple to play, Beethoven, what gives? I mean, I could probably learn to play this...(?)". Beethoven shrugs this off and keeps playing. The second movement comes along and people's confidence in learning starts to drop a bit "OH, okay, yeah this is a little more complex - good job, sir! Beautiful work! But still - I mean, most any decent pianist could probably learn this in a straightforward manner, ya know?" At this point Beethoven is more or less smiling inwardly as the second movement comes to a close... and then the proverbial(?) bass drops, along with everyone's jaw, as the third movement gets played via a blinding flash of movement that the audience soon comes to realize is actually the pianists' fingers on the piano - "good luck following this one, suckaz! see ya!" - or whatever the period equivalent for that phrasing might have been...

Heather Hodgkinson It's moonlight mam

Jabah Ksajjsdja i guess u's right : )

That's why when you first start practicing, always go for the harder songs first. An inverse strategy, but if done correctly...

+Heather Hodgkinson no it's easy but the 3rd movement is hard

I’m that 0.01% 💀😂

I'm watching it as a tutorial :)

Which note are you referring to?

The g#

Zhmoses TV it is implying holding the pedal, not necessarily holding the entire note down.

Navid G oh ok, thank you for the info m8...

I'm one key from playing two octaves

Yay nice job

Congrats dude, still working on it myself but I'm glad to hear that it's possible to play the whole thing😅

My man

You do not know how long I spent searching for your comment, I saw it in the comment bar and then I clicked it but guess what I realized that I saw you in the comments tab, but right after I could stop myself I clicked the X and I was searching and searching and searching and searching the worst part is that I had the video playing while I was searching for your singular one comment, and I truly felt dread, despair, anxiety, numbness, death, rebirth, and then death again when my iPad asked me if I wanted to delete the text and I accidentally clicked on yes. I cannot fathom, cannot explain I CAN NOT BELIEVE how much dread I went through just to find your comment, the worst part of all is that you probably don’t remember the name of all the girls from shadow garden my favorite is Beta, but besides that name I only remember 3 Cid, Beta, and Alpha.

+Matthew Ferrie Indeed. But it feels so good, you do not wish to stop, but the constant guilt eats away at you... what have you done? What diseases lie within this, what consequences? But... it is too late. You try to enjoy it, but tears threaten to seep from your eyes. You have committed a crime, to yourself. You wish it to be over, yet you want it to continue. Why... WHY LORD WHY! WHY MUST IT BE THIS WAY! You curse... you close your eyes, and let it happen, but such a thing will haunt you for the rest of your University stay. In slo mo...

@@braeeee_ Its handle. Right?

@@excusezmoi2520 I was joking, I'm referencing the composer, called "Handel"

@@braeeee_ OHHHhhhh

PFTW 😂😂😂 you're right

It's probably just how bad your piano is, my piano makes anything you play on it worse.

lol

You've described my situation

honestly i had no trouble learning these pieces. i found them more harder to memorize, rather than hit the right keys. as some say, you just have to play what's on the sheet.

@@eliasbonafe9236 lol

Sounds accurate

1st movement is harder than 2nd dtbh

It's been like 2 years I tried to learn it but im too lasy to do it 😥

@noodlenose23 U Will forgot everything in few month

Im so proud Of Youu Congratulations//!!!!

Fodase?

@@biscuitcookie491you just lack discipline

If you want to play the first few seconds, just start slowely and then its easy. Soon you will get the full speed, it isn't hard.

I repeat..... the 3RD MOVEMENT!!! 😣

John Smith I imagine myself falling from an endless height of fear and despair and after years of helplessly falling you finally hit the ground resulting in a magnificent splash of blood and guts :)

John Smith I imagine myself Observing the night sky and wonder how beautiful it is.

i imagine my future o_o

some say it was for his lover and others for his dead cousin

Poor man...

JDYoonaddict He wrote this piece because of a neighboor who was blind and he was trying to show how pretty is the moon .-.

Beethoven was not blind... He was deaf..! He could see the moon is bright... How could a dark, sad song like this help his neighboor imagine how pretty is the moon? Why are you trying to fool me?

What?? I never said that he was blind, actually i said that he wrote that piece for him neighboor who was blind

It's fascinating because Synthesia plays more emotionally than any other person lol.

+Tobias Iilitukolikupotut YES, it's so perfect

People have the ilusion that partitures are mechanical but they are the most perfect representation of music. we cannot forget that partitures are human creation and the atention and love on the comoposer and writer is fundamental for this magical sound we just felt

+Istari Pallando I am pretty sure this is not synthesia. Marioverehrer takes the audio from a real playing and adds synthesia video. Playing this midi in synthesia does not sound especially good.

+Maximilian Wicén Its Synthesia, but he changes the synthesia's Soundfont. when you download the synthesia, brings default audio and you can change it with CoolMidiSynth, but with this program you add the sounfonts(Or the synthesia's audio), u can search in google differents kinds of piano's Soundfonts like Z-doc Grand piano, Its a good sounfont

+Matthew Ferrie nice interpretation XD

relateable

For pleasure? You can listen to music even if you can't play it. Just because it's titled as a tutorial doesn't mean it can't be a cover as well.

Matt Nguyen agree! im just listening and almost crying cus i will never know how to play this

daniela soares nah dude, you should try, trust me; it’s really, really not that hard (to get the notes anyway, expression? You’d be waiting a long time but the sheet music helps). It was the first song I had learnt on piano & after two months of trying I finally managed to play it. A key thing to note in playing the piece is to read some stuff that it says on the sheet music, to make the piece sound better. Even if you can’t read music, look up what the dynamics mean. The majority of the song is piano, so quiet. The song says ‘delecattisimo’ to show that you need to play it delicately, and also says ‘senza sordeni’ to indicate that you should use a pedal throughout (though I personally always take my foot off the pedal and put it back on again after each octave change). By pedal, I mean the rightmost pedal. TLDR: You can play it, as long as you can reach an octave, and are determined enough to spend a few months trying
