Moonlight Sonata - First Movement (Guitar Solo)

Classical Guitar Solo

By Ludwig van Beethoven

This is an excellent arrangement but it is not easy. If you love this piece it will certainly satisfy you.

Beautiful piece of piano music that continues to show its beauty on the guitar. Nothing is lost moving this music to guitar. The arrangement is worthy of public performance.

Parkening in his Classical Guitar Method, says fingering ought to be selected, not just on the basis of ease, but also, perhaps even more so, on the basis of getting the tone quality you want and maintaining that tone (timbre, voicing) throughout a connected passage. Either way, the left hand in this piece requires some "stretch" training. The right hand is fairly simply, but a consistent picking pattern will yield the best results for consistent tone. Includes tab lines; stretches the music over 8 pages. You don't see a very large section of music; sometimes page changes in inappropriate place in the music, e.g. breaking motifs w/ pg turns.
