Part 1 of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven in C# minor. Hey guys, hope you enjoy part one. Please leave me some notes on how to improve my tutorial videos – Any comments are appreciated. Here are all the notes for Part 1. This should be used in conjunction with the video as this will probably be hard to follow if just read by itself. I’m hoping this isn’t too complicated; if it is please let me know and then I’ll try to make it better. Notes to the left of the slash are what the left hand plays and what’s right of the slash are what the right hand plays. Notes that are together with no commas in between are to be played together (as can be seen by octaves in the left hand). If there is a dash to the left of the slash, nothing is played in the left hand. When there is a x2 or x4 with the notes, only the right hand is to be played that many times. Hopefully this can be of help, if not I’ll try to make it easier to understand.

thanks man this tutorial really helped me cuz i didn’t really know how to play it correctly =D
ja, but is truth, the sound and quality of your electric keyboard is terrible, and if you read the sheet music, the sonata its an a adagio, and is pianizzimo, and you dont use de pianizzimo pedal or sustain pedal. Im not the best piano player but i am too better than you.
BUY AN ACOUSTIC PIANO ¡¡¡¡¡

I’m learning piano by myself and off of youtube videos, and I’m trying to find ones that have a good camera angle and arn’t all shaky..ones where the pianist says what chords their playing and shows them and goes slow so i can write them down .. this was perfect
