Yotube really recommended this 200 years later...

Beethoven was so talented he was even a great actor and did an outstanding job playing Gary Oldman here.

It brings me to tears whenever I play Moonlight Sonata. To know that Beethoven lost his hearing and still was able to write such beauty and to know that he could only hear it in his mind. To play it mechanically, without passion, would be dishonorable. I always give it everything I have, every nuance, every stress is vital. God bless his memory.

I think the world still doesnt understand how powerfull music really is

Beethoven was an introvert who avoided people and especially crowds whenever he could.Not anything like He's portrayed today.Great musician.

Legends have it that she still interrupts pianists till this day.

I remember in an interview when the journalist said to Gary Oldman, how realistic & convincing he looked at playing it, to which Gary replied, I actually played it, I spent 6 months & countless hours learning it. Absolutely brilliant, I believe he is the greatest actor alive today.

Gary Oldman is one of THE most underrated actors of our generation , in my opinion he deserves an Oscar in almost every movie he's in , even as a support actor

Don’t disturb someone while they are playing the piano.
-
I wish she would let him complete the sonata...
-
In my opinion it’s the most beautiful piano piece ever, truly incredible
-
Imagine to be behind that door, and to hear this for the first time ever - priceless
-
Using the vibrations to hear instead? Truly genius!

Beethoven, where ever you are, millions around this earth will remember you for your wonderful music. One love from Jamaica.

Beethoven was actually a premier performer, but due to his loss of hearing, he needed to rely on other means of income, composing being one of those means. Most of his most beloved and remembered works were composed after he began losing his hearing, which begs the statement, although he wasn't better off going deaf on a personal level, the world may have been the beneficiary of his dilemma, music that embodies the true human spirit and ultimate triumph over all ills.

Just before my Mom died...she was a violinist, I asked her who her favorite composer was and she said it was a tough choice but she picked Beethoven. Who can deny his masterpiece the Moonlight Sonata is utterly astoundingly brilliant. I was so blessed to have a Mom so talented and graceful to raise me. My greatest gift.

He didn't play those foul notes by mistake ...he was filling the room with vibrations so he could get some feedback . He couldn't hear clearly but he could feel . It's similar with Echolocation sense that bats and dolphins use . Only 1000 times more difficult when you actually trying to make music ! What a genius ...i am speechless every time i hear that song !
-
It must be amazing for you to be the first one to hear it
-
Moonlight Sonata is one of my favorites.

Gary Oldman should have walked away with best actor academy award for this film! Thee Simpletons of Hollywood completely ignored this once-in-a-lifetime portrayal of one of the greatest composer! Shame on them and the Oscar Academy
