Moonlight Sonata - Ludwig von Beethoven [[Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Opus 27 No. 2)

Moonlight Sonata - Glenn Miller; for his orchestra, based on the Beethoven Sonata

Beethoven himself marked his work "Sonata quasi una Fantasia". After Beethoven's death, a music critic compared the first movement's effect to moonlight shining on a lake, and the nickname "Mondscheinsonate" followed and stuck.
