This book features Moonlight Piano Sonata No. 14 in C# minor composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven; edited for the advanced solo soprano saxophonist by Maestro Bobby Ramirez. The music was carefully edited from the piano score with various unique stylistic inflections throughout; yet, maintaining the integrity of the original music. The result is this work for the solo soprano sax musician which can serve as a valuable practice resource as well as adding to your performance repertoire. While this music is technically challenging, the goal is to emphasize “expressiveness”, striving to achieve a symmetrical balance that brings forth eloquence, beauty, like poetry in motion through the natural musical timber of the soprano sax. The sonata consists of three movements: 1. Adagio sostenuto 2. Allegretto 3. Presto agitato Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. He is one of the most revered figures in the history of Western music; his works rank among the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era in classical music. His early period, during which he forged his craft, is typically considered to have lasted until 1802.
