ok-- I`ve been playing the piano for quite a few years, but I (unfortunatly) put it down for awhile. When I was a kid, my piano teacher had taught me the moonlight sonata-- all but the third movement.

I started playing again recently, and decided to learn the entire sonta, including the third movement. MY GOD this is hard. Anyway, the first six measures I`m not having too much problems with-- I`ve almost got it up to tempo. The seventh and eight measures are KILLING me.

In the seventh measure, the RH plays a c#-1, f#-1, a-1, c#1, another c#1, and then continues to the (f?) chord. The next two measures are similar. My question is this-- what is the proper fingering for this passage? I am using schirmer`s version of this, and there is no fingering markings. The thing that is tripping me up is the double c#1. The most natural fingering sequence for me is: 1[c#1-1], 2[f#-1], 4[a-1], 5[c#1], 1[c#1]... and then continue with the same fingering sequence. However, I just cannot get this to sound smooth when playing at tempo/near tempo. What am i doing wrong? Do I just need more practice on this?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

...I realize it`s been a month since this topic was originally posted, but if you`re still looking for assistance of some kind, I`d be happy to e-mail you a .PDF version of the 3rd Movement that`s been transcribed with quite a bit of helpful fingering.

Just let me know!

Hey Orange, do you mind mailing it to me as well? It`d be a great help
Also, if anyone has the 2nd movement that would also be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

Absolutly.
I`ve been working through it, andI think with a touch of pedal I`m getting it, but that would be great.
E-mail it to me at jglass02@optonline.net.

thanks.

what exactly do you need? The fingering for the second movement is pretty straight forward.

Nah, it`s not the fingering that bothers me (although that qould be quite nice too). I simply have no sheet music for the 2nd and 3rd movements at all...

Could you please e-mail me the .PDF file of Beethoven`s Moonlight Sonata Third Movement. Thank you.

Danke!

Could someone send me the Third Movement of Beethoven`s Moonlight Sonata with the finger markings, please? chargirl_xoxo@hotmail.com

Thank you!!

We would like the third movement (with fingering) also, and the 2nd movement if you have it! We have the first movement, but haven`t found the 2nd and 3rd.

Thankyou sooo much! Please e-mail to nixond@charter.net

That`s a URL to a PDF version of the third movement. I need some help because I don`t know what the little x is in measure 8... I think someone once told me it meant two sharps or something?

Thankyou so much! I had found one that I printed out, but this one is much clearer and better!

The cross symbol does indeed denote a double sharp, Pianoperson - an indication that its accompanying note should be played one whole note higher than it`s been transcribed (in the case of the eigth measure, for example, play the double sharped F as a G natural).

Hope that helps!

I am 14 and I have Written 128 pieces.
