 Moonlight Sonata Mov.1 Note Reading Help
June 17, 2011, 03:31:15 PM by light22

Hello,
I am a beginner to the piano and I am trying to teach myself as best that I can, but I have some questions. I have only learned how to play one song and that is Bach's Prelude in C major and all when smoothly with that piece.
I would like to try Moonlight Sonata, Movement 1, now....but am having a very hard time reading the music. Any suggestions on how I can understand how to read music with key signatures. I am trying to understand...but am very confused.
I figured out that it starts out with C# in the left hand, not C like i had originally thought.
And it starts with G# on the right hand, but I get all mixed up trying to read the music from there.
Thank you for any help

Beethoven - Sonata in c# minor, Op 27 No. 2 (1st Movement)
June 16, 2011, 05:17:37 AM by perfect_pitch

Greetings...
After having a word with an american Doctor who came to give me a masterclass on my Chopin Ballade - he said something that really got to me. He said that true pianism is taking a piece of music and bringing it to absolute beauty. Which is why every week (I'll try and keep it every week), I'll try to post a performance of a classic piece of music and really try to bring it to perfection as I can.
And this is why I would like to post a little performance of the 1st movement of Beethovens 'Moonlight' Sonata. Is there anything I could do to just bump this up a notch to get it truly beautiful?
Remember... this is only on a Yamaha C2 piano, so it's much harder to get the softer dynamics than on a (say) $250,000 Fazioli Grand Piano.

Beethoven Sonata no.14 mvnt 3

I'm currently learning this piece and was wondering if anyone else has learnt it and would be willing to share their approach to learning it and how long it took?
I'm finding it rather difficult, my right hand is up to speed and no problem but I'm finding that my left hand is letting me down somewhat..
Ironically my left hand is pretty well exercised considering my first instrument is guitar and I've been playing for 8 years.

Beethoven Moonlight Sonata 1st movement

Hi,
This is my first piano practice and first recording. And I appreciate your feedback.
I know that I need to practice more to make it better. I just finished memorizing the whole movement last week and didnt have much time to practice to make it more even and a has clean melody, not to mention the mistakes.
I am a self-learner beginner. I bought my piano (YDP-161) 3 months ago and
I try to practice 4-5 hours a week. (my son doesn't let me practice more!)
Although piano is new to me, I have been playing oud for a long time and I can read sheet music, but very slowly.
Thanks.

Moonlight sonata, 3rd movement
October 17, 2010, 06:44:09 PM by dlipatti

I've just started learning this piece, and will probably have a lot of questions on technicalities and performance tips, so I thought I should just start this thread and seek some advice from those of you who have played this before.
First off, what fingering would you use on the octave trills? And should the ornamentations be played on the beat with the left-hand, or before?
Feel free to discuss anything about the entire sonata here, I really could use any kind of help.

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
