Her skin looked so bright
My thoughts illuminated
By her sweet curves and
Soft silky skin in moonlight
The Moon and stars above
Burning their embers so
Brilliantly I felt warm from
Them and could not sleep
But was caught in a deep
Vision illuminated by light
And to be sure it was not
Just the blue light of the TV
I looked out the window and
At a radiant moon in the sky

The third part – Presto Agitato- is twice as long as the first two parts. Fischer felt this part as being the representation of a storm. A very impetuous storm, if we take into account the fact that at the time when he was composing the sonata, Beethoven was madly in love with Giulietta with whom he had hopes of getting married. The listener can distinguish two themes in this part: a tempestuous one built on arpeggios and strongly accented notes and a second theme, more lyrical in form which comes into contrast with the first one. Both themes are magnificently interlaced and create the impetuous storm emotion Fischer experienced.
This is one of the most well known piano sonatas by Beethoven. The Moonlight Sonata was written in 1801 and today, more than ever, it remaines one of the most popular pieces of piano music in history.
