Bio| \ \ Quasi Una Fantasia... |
| One of my favorite classical music compositions, subtitled as "Quasi Una Fanasia" [or Like a fantasy] is the phrase that Beethoven included in the title of his composition, Piano Sonata No. 14 or Moonlight Sonata. He included this because the sonata does not follow the traditional sonata pattern [where the first movement is in regular sonata form and where the movements are arranged in a fast-slow-fast sequence]. ♫ The alternate title, Moonlight Sonata derives from a 1832 description of the first movement by poet Ludwig Rellstab, who compared it to moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne. ♫ The composition was published in 1802 and was dedicated to Beethoven’s pupil and passion, 17 year old Countess Giulietta Gucciardi. ♫ this image has no connection with Beethoven’s intentions. He rather attributes this atmosphere to the feeling that overwhelmed the composer when he took watch at the side of a friend who prematurely left the world of the living. In one of Beethoven’s manuscripts there are several notes from Mozart’s Don Juan, notes that follow the killing of the Commander by Don Juan, and lower, this passage is rendered in C sharp minor in absolute resemblance to the first part of the sonata in C sharp minor. Analyzing and comparing, one could realize that it cannot be the case of a romantic moon lit night, but rather of a solemn funeral hymn. |
