A friend's funeral is coming up, and she has requested that we play a recording of Myra Hess playing the first movement of Beethoven Moonlight Sonata, from "a CD which in her flat".

We haven't found the CD, and we also haven't found an available recording of her performing this work.

The question is - does it exist?

If not, what should we play instead?

This piece does not appear in her discography.
