sturm und drang

do you ever feel this way?  in the key of F# minor for instance?  say, did you know that beethoven sort of theived his moonlight sonata opening (op. 27 #2) from haydn's symphony #44 (mourning symphony)?  a comparison of the tempo, rhythm, melodic line, and harmony as well as the shared exotic key of F# minor.
