No,he actually didn`t!

I have played the three movements and the third movement is difficult indeed...but not unplayable...There are so many pianists that have played this sonata...If Beethoven had 3 hands...........he would be an alien then!
You have to admit that this sonata is really beautiful,don`t you??

no, the 3rd movement is not impossible, nor does it require three hands. my friend learned 1/2 of the entire 3rd mvt in less than 3 weeks in addition to his other piano pieces he has to play for his classes. I`ve attempted it....tho i do not have as many years of experience with piano, but i`ve been able to master the first few measures at full speed...it`s hard..makes ur arm tired, but if u practice enuff, it shouldn`t be a problem.

and if u thought 3rd mvt was impossible, go listen to Liszt - Totentanz (Dance of Death)--Liszt, the epitome of pianists, "makes all other pianists look like children" (from some bio) hehe

hey man, i can understand how you could be thinking you would need to be an alien to play that part....i`m a senior in highschool, and the 3rd movement of the moonlight sonantas is what i`m working on for my "last piece".....just work hard

Hey Guys im new at this piano thing, use to take lessons when i was real young, and after listening to Moonlight Sonata properly i wanna learn!!. Can any of you tell me where i can download moonlight mvt 1, 2 and 3.

Hi Bob,

It`s not so difficult to download this sonata but I recommend you to buy a CD of a pianist....if you really want to play it in a right way I think that it would be better not to search it on the Web....as you know,the quality of them is not so high......

I have been taking piano for about seven years now (I am right now thirteen) and I am starting to learn the Moonlight Sonata. I am so glad that the beginning two movements are less stressful and difficult than the third. Playing the third movement just about kills my hands and once a day is as much as my hands can handle! If anyone has found a web site where you can listen to the third movement, can you please reply to me and place a link. Thanks!

use ur nose

that was meant for the left hand while using the sustain pedal to hold the b-b.

pedal b-b
rh b
lh c
1st movement moonlight

it can be done. i play thi spiece for fun sometimes. it gets a little challenging, but you just have to work on stretching your fingers. i would work on this by betting some finger excercises, or just working this part and stretching your fingers.

You were referring to the ninth strech in the 16th measure. It`s very easy, you simply play b-b with your left hand and b-c with your right. Make sure to accent c and let the b notes just be there without being really noticeable!!!
