Listen to Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 (Adagio Sostenuto , Allegretto , Presto Agitato), also known as the Moonlight Sonata. There are three movements in this sonata. Analyze each of them in terms of articulation and dynamics, and then write a brief essay on your observations. Describe how the music moves you and how it makes you feel.

Answer:

Moonlight Sonata is one of Beethoven’s most loved compositions. It has three movements, each of which makes use of a unique pattern of articulation and dynamics devices.

Adagio Sostenuto, the first movement, is in C#-minor. Adagio is Italian for “at ease,” and in music, it implies a slow and stately pace. The beginning of the first movement is homophonic and is a great example of the use of arpeggios in the chord structure. Dynamically, it is a soft piece, played in pianissimo (very soft). The loudest point of the movement is mezzo forte (moderately loud). The Adagio Sostenuto is calming, yet a bit ghostly.

Allegretto is the second movement of the Moonlight Sonata. In Italian, allegro means “cheerful,” and in music, allegretto implies a tempo close to allegro (or quick and bright speed). The second movement is in D-flat major. It is calming, but much less mournful than the first movement is. It uses more staccato, with full chordal accompaniment as arpeggios. The Allegretto is in piano and uses sforzandos, which lend it a cheerful effect.

Presto Agitato, the third and last movement, is in C#-minor and is the most important movement of the sonata. Presto means “extremely fast” in Italian, while agitato means “agitated.” The Presto Agitato is a turbulent piece. It seems lively and involves the use of many arpeggios and accented notes. I heard the use of sforzandos and fortissimo in this movement. It is played extremely fast and makes clever use of dynamic contrast (alternating loud and soft segments).

Overall, I found the Moonlight Sonata to be a beautifully haunting and relaxing composition.
