One day Beethoven was returning home at night. Music was heard from the next doorway - his still unpublished work.
Surprised,
he went to the source of the sound and found a blind girl who, in complete
darkness, was sitting at the instrument and playing. Apparently, she heard this
thing when Beethoven himself composed it - their apartments were next door.
Touched,
full of compassion for the blind girl, Ludwig asked for her place at the piano,
and began to play something completely new, composing impromptu.
The room
was lit only by faint moonlight, which made things more wonderful, more
magical.
What did
the composer try to convey through the harmony of the sonata called
"Moonlight"?
Beethoven's
mind seemed to have sealed the moonlight, making it possible for each of us to
contemplate the world, sparkling like a dream, like a mirage ...
But in the
"moonlight sonata" not only this beauty, there is also the sadness of
the great composer, the sorrow for all of us, half-blind, half-deaf, unable to
rise into the spheres of harmony, accessible to a few.
