Moonlight Sonata Chime
Moonlight Sonata Chime
This chime is tuned to the opening notes of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.14 in C-sharp minor, better known as "Moonlight Sonata". Composed in 1801 and dedicated to Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, this piece was given the name Sonata quasi una fantasia by Beethoven (sonata in the manner of a fantasy). The name "Moonlight Sonata" was popularized in 1832, when a critic compared the first movement to the moonlight shining on Lake Lucerne. Hang this chime in your home or garden and enjoy its hauntingly sweet song during moonlight, sunlight, any time!
