The second and third movements are more upbeat and energetic, with faster tempos and intricate piano runs.
Formally known as Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia," Op. 27, No. 2, the "Moonlight Sonata" remains a timeless masterpiece that has inspired countless musicians and artists. Its beauty and complexity continue to captivate audiences to this day. The first movement, characterised by its evocative and melancholic melody, begins with a beautiful theme played softly on the piano, repeated and elaborated upon throughout. The overall mood is introspective and contemplative, reflecting themes of longing. Though popularly nicknamed "Moonlight Sonata," Beethoven did not give the piece this title. The name was attributed posthumously, likely due to the tranquil and reflective nature of the music, which evokes the imagery of a moonlit night.
