Moonlight Sonata - Ludwig van Beethoven~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tabulated from the (much easier to play) piano score by David AtkinsonOctober 1994 - V2.0 (11/94)

I have included left hand fingering underneath the tab. I think the systemI used is self-explanitary. The numbers 1 to 4 indicate the fingers -1=index, 2=middle, 3=ring, 4=little(pinkie). I have left out fingering where

a section is repeated or on parts where fingering is blatantly obvious.If anyone needs an explanation, feel free to email me.

I transposed this to the key of A minor which seemed logical to me at thetime but I have recently been informed that Tarrega used D minor. Tough!I experimented with the B string tuned to Bb but, although some parts wereeasier, most were better with normal tuning. Any other suggestions?

I might just try a D minor version if I find the time and motivation.Watch this space!

p = pull-off, h = hammer-on, s = slide

===== = sustain. However, to save me hassle, sustain all the bass notesfor a whole bar where possible.

The roman numerals above the tab indicate either full barres or halfbarres. The ...s indicate how long the barre lasts.

Moonlight sonataBeethoven

piano sonata no.14 "Quasi una fantasia" (Italian: Almost a fantasy)1st movement

Beethoven wrote his Piano Sonata No. 14 in 1801 and dedicated it to17-year-old Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, with whom he was deeply in love.Its original title, "Quasi una Fantasia", was in keeping with that dedication.However, in 1832, the poet Ludwig Rellstab compared the music to "moonlightshining on a lake." Since then, it became known as the Moonlight Sonata.

Its powerful, haunting and quiet melody was at first disturbing to audiences.However, Beethoven later complained of its popularity, writing,"Surely I've written better things."

Standard Tuning; 4/4, in Am minor (composed in C sharp minor)

(All but the last two bars are in triplet 8ths, as noted in bar #1. Withseveral bars ending in 16ths; These notes are shown as "s" above the note).Also, there are numerous dynamics regarding tempo and note accents,far too many to note without making the tab look cluttered. My best advice


9/21

would be to find and listen to a recording.

Fingering: The LHF I've laid out in this tab are what I use, If you're notleft hand comfortable with some of them, don't hesitate to try other ways1 - index of freting these cords. For ex. in the first measure (Am) I2 - middle exchange my middle and ring fingers for easier transition into3 - ring the F shape of bar three.4 - little

Let ring throughout (wherever possable)

Tabbed by K Gerard - send comments to [email protected] - June 2003

************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I've have used this site so extensively that I thought it was time I returnedsomething. Beethoven being my favourite composer, I thought would be appropriate(Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement). I added some LHF but please remember its theLHF that I use and will probably need some adjustments. Also there are some

pretty tricky parts in the song which should be practiced specificaly, becausethe chord change will take about 200 practices before you can do it smoothly.Moonlight Sonata has already been tabbed but my version has a crescendo that isan octave higher and that makes full use of the guitar's fretboard. All thenotes are 1/8th triplets in 4/4 time except the ones marked S=16th note, H=Half,F=Full. THeres a tricky rythym that uses the 16th note in the main body, itprobably best to listen to the midi file to understand it properly. Other thanthat Enjoy. - [email protected] - February 2005
