Keys has often spoken of her
love for classical masters of the piano like Beethoven and Mozart.

Beethoven's great Moonlight Sonata, formed as it is of a similar
melancholy three note pattern.
The main difference between the two is that Beethoven's upward three note pattern repeats, where
Keys' falls back down again - appropriately enough, given the title!
The only two chords used in the whole piece are E minor and B minor 7:
