THE STORY OF MOONLIGHT SONATA

Ok people i realized that my last blogs mostly have been only about my crazy thoughts and i haven't told you stories for quite a long time so a here is a new one for you. The story of a great master's masterpiece. One of my favourite sonatas; The Monlight Sonata of Ludwig Van Beethoven.
In a dark, narrow street of Austria two men are walking. From one house they hear the voices of a piano. One of the men tell the other that he would like to meet the one who plays the piano that nice. So they knock the door of the house where the sounds are coming from. A man, an old shoemaker opens the door and they ask who is playin the piano. The man answers it's his daughter so they say they would like to get in. The man asks who they are to enter his house in the middle of the night so master Beethoven introduces himself and his friend. The man then lets them inside and takes to a small room where the sounds come from. They hear the voice but there is no light in the room except the beautiful full moon's light sneaking in the room from the open window. The master asks why the room is dark and the man trying to put a light on says the girl doesn't need a light to play, she's blind.
Beethoven goes and sits next to the girl and talks to her a while. Along the conversation in the night of full moon the girl who was blind since birth says she has never seen the beautiful moonlight. Then Beethoven tells her that he will show her the moonlight, he puts his fingers on the buttons and right there, right that moment he composes and plays the moonlight sonata to make a little girl to see the moonlight...

P.S.: The story may differ in different sources!
