MOONLIGHT IN MUSIC.
Story Of How Beethoven Created His
Wonderful Sonata.

Bccthoven's famous composition, the
moonlight Sonata" Is said to have
been composed under the following cir
cumstances:
One evening as Beethoven and a
friend were hurryIng through the
streets OF Rom they heard the famil-
lar notes of the sonata In f." Some
thing In the musicians touch attracted
the attention Of Beethoven, and he
stopped and listened. Suddenly the
music stopped, and the despairng
words OF the musician came to them
through the open window, "Oh. II
sician play this wonderful piece" and
the words ended in sob.
LET us 20 in." said Beethoven. They
entered and found the player a young
girl, poor and blind. Beethoven so'
down at the old hnrpsichord and play
ell as he had never played before. His
listeners were spellbound. Tell u.s."
they begged, "who are your For an
swer he played the opening bars In the
sonata In T." 1T Is Beethoven"
they exclaimed in awe and admiration.
Suddenly the candle hlckered and
went out. Beethoven ceased playing
and bowed his head upon his hand.
His friend threw open the shutters. A
flood of beautiful moonlight entered
the room. Its transiiguring light touch
ed up the poor old instrument and rest
ell upon the noble figure bowed before
It, The profound silence was broken
at last by the musician, who said: Ills
ten. will improvise a sonata to the
moonlight" Then was created this Won
derful sonata, beginning In sad. ten
der movement, the embodiment In
sound of the gentle moonlight transiig-
uring and glorifying the dark earth.
Suddenly the music ceased, and with
a brief farewell Beethoven hurried
home to put upon paper this famous
composition.
