Beethoven Moonlight Sonata for Guitar

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata for Guitar is one of Beethoven's most popular and frequently performed works. It's referred to as 'Beethoven's opus 27 no. 2' or 'Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor.' We know it better as Moonlight Sonata.

In 1801, Beethoven wrote this sonata and dedicated it to his student, 17-year-old Countess Giulietta Guicciardi. It was said that Beethoven was in love with her. The sonata didn't get its popular name until 1832, after Beethoven's death; the poet Ludwig Rellstab related the music to moonlight reflected from Switzerland's Lake Lucerne.
