A piece dedicated to a student, Giulietta Guicciardi, with whom Beethoven had fallen in love, the Moonlight Sonata has become a popular favorite for concert pianists. Its popularity transcends the bounds of style, drawing in even non-classical music fans with its dreamlike first movement, the Adagio.

Deeply personal, Beethoven’s Adagio entrances listeners with its complex emotion. The peaceful, rolling movement of the arpeggios contrast with its haunting melody and somber bass line to portray the thought of someone who can find beauty in the midst of conflict.

I would like to add this to my music in my itunes account. They have classical guitar in the itunes store but this here is by far the best I have heard (and is significantly better then what is in the itunes store). Does anybody know if I can add this to my itunes account, and if I can then how without having to download a youtube video to mp3 converter. Ie buying it from whoever made it

4th sheet I bought from LAGA. I grabbed the 1st one, Rondo Alla Turca, just because I MUST have that one. Never expected myself to buy more from them. Have to say I fell in love with their work. Their arrangements are beautiful and the presentation is beautiful too. They actually give you 2 copies in one file, one copy has complete tablature, and the 2nd one has only the notes, which is probably preferable to more skilled players.
They are really serious when they say "Revised to maximize efficiency and ease of fingering". Their finger notation has been tremendously helpful. I love the thoughtfulness they put in their arrangements and how they try to keep it simple and "cool" at the same time whenever they can.
Someone said in the comments of this video on their website, "must learn before I die". I somewhat agree with the sentiment. Probably in a bit though, because I've still got half of Rondo Alla Turca to go…
