"Moonlight" Sonata, Op. 27 No. 2: I. Adagio sostenuto
L. van Beethoven (1770-1827), Sonata quasi una fantasia (1801)
The complete first movement, as Beethoven wrote it (also in Book 7A). Triplets flow through the whole movement under a slow melody in the top voice: the melody sings, the triplets stay soft. Beethoven asks for the pedal throughout: change it with every harmony. Score: Mutopia Project no. 276, typeset by Stewart Holmes, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5.
