Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
2nd movement 06:00 3rd movement 08:05(best part)
I don't listen to a lot of classical music these days, but Moonlight Sonata is one of my absolute favorite works from Beethoven!
Also, I agree that the 3rd movement is the best part. Really good chord progression and melodic complexities.
I have a song-y-song that I'm working on, where I am combining Moonlight Sonata with an early 1990's Spaceship shoot 'em up video game theme. Classical music always makes modern styles sound so much better and epic.
The style might be a little too intense, if I judge your tastes by what you've posted. But let me know if you're interested in hearing some of it. ('^,^)>

Thanks for everything. love you
Yes, I'm very interested in hearing some. I like powerful intense music..only on condition that they don't remind me of devil demonic evil things.
The song is called "Moonstrike Sonata" and is being designed for the Sega Genesis chipset. Basically, sound technology from the 1980's. Certainly not for the faint of heart. =0
I have other tracks in mind, as it's for an imaginary video game in my head.
Classic 90's marketing blurb description: Jam out to this while you take off with your squadron to investigate why contact was lost with the lunar base following a serious of bright flashes. Blast down bogeys and route out the invading alien fleet all the way back to their home star system. It's gonna be wild ride with your roughneck veteran air-force F-14 tomcat crew by your side. Tachyon Force, engage!! !
(P.S. This is still unfinished. )

Thank you very much and Wow..that was a great composition! I can definitely see that you have some talent in composing music..maybe natural? Keep going! I wish that I could listen to your finished song someday.

Well, in that case, I'll bump it up in my list of musical priorities. It will be one of my more time involving works, because of the complexity of Beethoven's influence. A lot of fun, though.
Honestly, I have been making music on the computer for years, but only recently did I start taking piano lessons and really looking into traditional terminologies, notation, and such.
Mainly for me, I compose these songs in my head when I'm bored at work, walking down the street, sometimes I'll have an idea from a dream. Then it's a matter of translating what's in my brain to the computer screen.
I am influenced by my mom who has university degrees in music, classical composers like Bach, Bethoveen, Dvorak, Leroy Anderson. Even Scott Joplin all the way to modern jazz with Spyra Gyra. I've listened to a wide variety of things in life, and they can all converge and mix in many different ways in my head.
And why not? I guess it is one of my special interest.
You know, I think you would like Dvorak's "New World Symphony". It's a very nice piece, very bold and scenic in it's composition. You won't get bored with it.

Thank you very much for sharing your story, which explains where your music came from. I wish you keep going your way. Don't stop as I believe that you have some talents in this area. I also, thank you for posting one of greatest pieces as well. I see its 4th movement starts at 31:32, which is the best part of this music IMO.
However, to my ears, most symphonies sound too heavy.. as does this piece. Sorry about that. I've never liked a full symphony since I really hate the sound of horns, trumpets, trombones and timpanies. Actually I only like to listen to sonata parts of any symphonies ; a solo instrument or a small ensemble. You could see that I've mostly posted those sort of parts with every player having extreme gift, passion and insanity(to some extent) which I value the most.

Hey, perfectly fine. Everybody's tastes are a little different. Music is a very subjective and personal thing. For example, I cannot stand modern pop music, or dubstep.
Perhaps you might like this song I made a couple of years ago:
There's a solo around every corner.

Thank you very much for everything. I like your song that your song seems full of happiness, thankfulness of surroundings and easy to listen to..going very smoothly. I liked that you mixed some sounds of nature as well and I liked the sound of the instruments from 5:37 especially.
