The classical composition ‘Moonlight Sonata’ was composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven. Known for its profound emotional depth and considered one of the most beloved piano sonatas, this piece showcases Beethoven's innovative style during the early 19th century. Despite its association with the moonlight due to its serene first movement, Beethoven originally titled it "Sonata quasi una fantasia," which translates to "Sonata in the manner of a fantasy".
