 Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven) at AllExperts
Ludwig van Beethoven's opus 27 no. 2 is the Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia" (Italian: Almost a fantasy), popularly known as the "Moonlight" Sonata.
Beethoven wrote this sonata in 1801 and dedicated it to his pupil, the 17-year-old Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, with whom he was (or, according to some accounts, had been) in love.
The stormy final movement, in sonata form, is the weightiest of the three, reflecting an experiment of Beethoven's (also carried out in the companion sonata, Opus 27 no. 1 and later on in Opus 101) of placing the most important movement of a sonata last.

It was the manuscript of this sonata that Beethoven was clutching as he fled Gratz castle in 1806 during a storm after a row with Prince Lichnowsky - the water stains are still clearly visible on the manuscript which is in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
The sonata depicts the departure from Vienna of Archduke Rudolph and the entire Imperial family during the French bombardment in May 1809 and the movements are individually headed - 'Das Lebewohl' (Farewell), 'Abwesenheit' (Absence) and 'Das Wiedersehn' (The return).
This sonata which opened the gateway to the late sonatas was written in 1814 and is another intimate 2 movement work - the first in the minor and the 2nd in the major key, a scheme Beethoven was to exploit to the full in his last sonata.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Music (Because)
When the sonata was published in 1803 it was dedicated to his young piano student Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, but Beethoven apparently did not have her in mind at the time he wrote it.
The "Moonlight Sonata" (a title not given to the piece until after Beethoven's death) was immediately popular upon publication and has remained the most well-known of Beethoven's sonatas ever since, although most people are familiar only with the first of the sonata's three movements.
Readers interested in a technical discussion of the musical similarities between "Because" and "Moonlight Sonata" might enjoy Ian Hammond's essay on the subject from his Beathoven series.

The nickname "Moonlight" was given to the piece by the poet Ludwig Rellstab, who, in 1832, described the music as being "like moonlight shining on a lake".

 Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beethoven included the phrase "Quasi una fantasia" (Italian: Like a fantasy) in the title because the sonata does not follow the traditional sonata pattern where the first movement is in regular sonata form, and the movements are arranged in a fast-slow-fast sequence.
In 1832, several years after Beethoven's death, the German poet and music critic Ludwig Rellstab compared the music of the first movement to moonlight shining on Lake Lucerne, giving rise to the work's byname.
The "Moonlight" Sonata is one of Beethoven's most popular works, and it is frequently performed and recorded.

 Moonlight Sonata
trictly speaking, Ludwig van Beethoven's famed Moonlight Sonata is not a sonata at all-nor did the composer's intentions in writing it have anything to do with moonlight.
The so-called sonata form in wide use in Beethoven's lifetime dictated a strict structural order - which this giant among composers chanted and expanded and imbued with a new sense of dramatic content.
The poet Ludwig Rellstab, a contemporary of Beethoven's, remarked that the first movement of this piano work in C-sharp minor reminded him of moonlight on Lake Lucerne - and the Moonlight Sonata gained its nickname for posterity.
