MOONLiGHT SONATA (BEETHOVEN / ARR. TÁRREGA)


About 

First movement of one of Beethoven’s Masterpieces (officially „Piano Sonata No. 14, in German "Mondscheinsonate") in the arrangement of Francisco Tárrega, the great Spanish guitarist and composer. He wrote the „Gran Vals“ - one of the most horribly butchered pieces of music ever - it is used for the Nokia Ringtone. I transcribed the piece from a score I have and changed some fingerings to make it easier for me. 

 

Original Key

C# minor (Beethoven)

D minor (Tàrrega)

 

Tuning 

Dropped D

 

Tab Notes

Easy beginning, but getting very difficult as it progresses. The only good thing: It is VERY slow. I will take it with me to summer vacation (along with some other challenges) and see how it goes. Currently I am fighting with bar # 26.
