Is Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement easy?
The first movement of the Moonlight Sonata is not very difficult. We are talking about the FIRST movement. If you are fine learning a single movement from a sonata (where generally you learn the whole sonata), then go ahead and work on the 1st movement...but the other movements are NOT for a beginner.
What are the notes in Moonlight Sonata?
The “Moonlight” Sonata happens to be in the key of C-sharp minor. This means that the key (also called the tonality) is built on the note C-sharp. This note is called the tonic – the first note of a key. The key is built on the notes C-sharp, D-sharp, E, F-sharp, G-sharp, A and B.
What piano level is Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement?
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st movement would be approximately grade 6 level if you are only concerned with playing the notes correctly. But to do it justice, the technical skill required to play this movement musically makes it diploma standard (ATCL/ARSM).
