The second movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is a contrast to the first movement. This movement is positive, playful and joyful but yet subdued. Lovely light melodies allow the piece to flow along nicely. The Piano Sonata No. 14 op. 27 no. 2 in C sharp minor by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1801, is also known as the Moonlight Sonata. Beethoven himself gave his work the nickname Sonata quasi una Fantasia ("... quasi a fantasy"). The term "Fantasia" refers to the unusual sequence of movements of the sonata. This explains the untypical tempos of the respective movements for the conventional sonata form. The work does not have a first (fast) movement in sonata form, which sonatas of this period usually contain. It begins with an Adagio, followed by a more lively Allegretto with Trio, followed by a fast, highly dramatic Finale, which has the structure of a sonata-form. What is striking here is that the tempo increases from movement to movement. Franz Liszt characterized the piece by describing the second movement as "a flower between two abysses".
classical piano - formal, slow and delicate - extended version
A sweet and tender solo piano track. Few heartfelt notes, like raindrops on the water. Gentle and light, with a naĂŻve and innocent undertone as well as a melancholic and reflective side. Romantic, loving, peaceful and beautiful piano music.
A very Sad tender piece featuring the Armenian Duduk and ambient low drone, would fit perfectly in to a tender sad and sentimental scene.
A beautiful and gentle Americana, folk track played on acoustic slide guitar over subtle steel guitar and acoustic guitars. Romantic, nostalgic and reflective. Beauty and amazement.
A charming, fun and happy track based on acoustic guitar and whistling. Care free, relaxed, easy going and casual, like a pleasant stroll. Taking it easy, enjoying life's simple pleasures, feeling supremely relaxed and at ease. Excellent track for hiking, strolling, gardening, or any off-beat, relaxed film, commercial, advertising, and much more. There is also an alternative recording where another acoustic guitar melody replaces the whistling.
A sad and poignant, ambient piano piece, highly suitable for use in film or other visual media. Regretful, sorrowful. Perhaps dealing with loss, melancholy or long lost love, memories.
Gentle acoustic guitar ballad. Nice as a background for anything genuine, country, outdoors, reflection and travels.
A beautiful and melancholic ambient piano track. A simple, nostalgic piano melody played with grace, finely balanced on top of a strange ambient background texture. Excellent for drama, film soundtrack work, or any sincere, thought provoking web site or film footage.
Sparse, raw and cut to the bone, country bluegrass performed on banjo and mandolin. Authentic folk/bluegrass style.
