Tips for playing Level 3 "Moonlight Sonata - The 1st Movement":

This particular arrangement for the 1st movement of "Moonlight Sonata" is at Level 3 (easy). Even though Beethoven wrote this piece in the key of C sharp minor, this arrangement is in the key of D minor to accommodate piano players at Level 3. D minor is just one-half step higher than the original key. You do not have to change the hand positions too much. You also do not have to stretch your hands continuously like the original piece. A few fingerings are provided. You can also take advantage of the damper (sustain) pedal signs (the old fashion ones with "Ped") since the pedal is a 'Must' in this piece.
