There are many fantasies about the origin of the Moonlight Sonata

This painting is based on the most lovely one. The story goes like this:

The night before his concert performance , Beethoven was walking alone in a moonlight night

along the Rhein river. He heard his music emanating from a cottage and paused to listen.....

Beethoven overheard conversation between a young women (the pianist) and her brother.

She expressed her desire to hear the Master (Beethoven) perform in next day's concert.

But her brother said they were too poor to go.

When Beethoven heard that, he burst through the door and told her he will play for her right there.

When Beethoven discovered that she was blind, he was so moved;

Beethoven told her brother to put out the candles, let the moonlight shine into the room,

and proceed to play for her "in the moonlight".

The young girl standing next to the piano, with lovely smile hanging on her face,

emotional tears run out from her eyes.

有一年貝多芬到鄉下演奏。在演出的前一晚他獨自沿著萊蒽河畔散步。

當他走過一間小屋時屋內傳出鋼琴聲，有人正在彈他的一首作品。 貝多芬隨即止歩傾聽...

後來琴聲停止，聼到一位少女聲音說：「哥哥，明天我真想去聽大師的演奏」。

哥哥回答說：「妹啊，演奏會的票價太貴了，我們家實在買不起」。

貝多芬聽到後即刻闖門進入，向那姑娘說：「讓我現在就彈給妳聽吧！」

再看一下清楚，發現這位清秀少女雙眼失明，讓貝多芬深受感動。

貝多芬告訴她的哥哥把油燈熄滅，讓月光進來。

貝多芬隨即走到琴椅坐下，譲作曲靈感帶動他的雙手，在月光下開始彈奏.....

面帶微笑的盲女近靠在鋼琴旁邊傾聽，喜悅心情禁不住，讓涙水夕夕流出...
