This song has had a profound effect on me since I was a child. The tone and the subtleness of the pauses can be powerful.

[@luduinus]

There are no words. It is not a song

[@Zeiru]

@@luduinus Enlighten me, Master. If not a song, what single word would you prefer the world ascribe to this piece of music that has no vocals? I am ignorant, Master. Educate me.

[@luduinus]

@@Zeiru It is a 'piece'. You can hum it alright or vocalise, but there are no words to sing. Even kindergarten kids know that.

[@Zeiru]

Your insight knows no bounds! Thank you, Master!!

[@luduinus]

@@Zeiru What an arrogant ignorant brute.

[@MarkLumsley]

There's people who 'play' the harp, and then there's people who 'PERFORM' on the harp. LOVED this. Excellent job. :)

[@gekkeroph9276]

I love this comment👏

[@abj6920]

I know classical music is a hard sell for youtube, but come on, people who watch the shorts should be watching this!

[@cahuni]

lovely listening to something longer than a short 🤗 thank you for taking the time

[@jhimschoot3007]

Yes I agree!!

[@melaniekeeling7462]

It's us, we're too lazy to go to the videos to listen to longer pieces.

[@Hogstrictors]

Couldn't agree more. Shorts ruining videos of any nature.

[@suzibee9796]

Next full moon I'm going to play this outdoors! Lovely! 💕❤💕

[@elizabethsternal2094]

Beautiful - one of the benefits of a pedal harp . I really enjoyed it

[@Tenorsax69er]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!! I had goosebumps the entire 6:03! The passion that you have while playing the harp, especially while playing this piece, can be heard and FELT through your performance! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Would love to hear you play live one day! We have the Roy Thompson Hall here in Toronto, Canada that I think would be an incredible venue for your work ❤

[@tgibble7]

That was very well done! As a composer who doesn't play harp, I'd love to see a transcription of this to understand the many pedal changes necessary to make a piece like this playable on the harp, you did a great job working through all of those chromatic sections!

[@unknownpwn428]

Wonderful intonation. Thank you

[@rhondanicholas1738]

Gorgeous. My favorite piece of music of all... beautifully done. Gave me goose bumps!❤

[@user-ol5rr7qf6w]

ベートーヴェン作曲 月光 第一楽章 ハープ カバー とても音色が綺麗で好きです！

[@juliaarias8838]

Love this! It's one of my favorite pieces

[@frechesbienchen4720]

Wow, you're so talented! Can you by any chance do the third movement next?

[@II-zf3vo]

Wtf

[@Mikimon]

Bro never realized this is an harp 😂🤦‍♂️

[@crabring]

Hahaha😂

[@maribellozano127]

“Superb” doesn’t begin to describe how exquisite this is… Bravo!!

[@Candace1234-k8k]

Thanks . It helped me so much to Sleep ❤

[@torugonza]

Me quedé a ver todo el video. Es conmovedor. Gracias por darme este momento hermoso

[@user-il7od8bv6k]

Спасибо! Я получила удовольствие от вашего исполнения!

[@kathleenramirez2379]

This is one of those rare songs that brings me to tears every single time. I can’t even put into words what it does to my soul whether it is a piano or a harp or any other instrument playing. THIS is real music! May it transcend eternity!

[@petrapetra7462]

Breathtaking!Great job! It's so interesting to listen to this harp cover and to imagine about some fantasy world,far away in magic night woods.Just like dramatic scenes in books or movies,with lots of dreams and sharming secrets that it brings.I really enjoyed listen to it,thank you.🌙🌠

[@EsoogehtTheGoose]

This sounds amazing! I really enjoy listening to the Moonlight Sonata and hearing it on the harp gives it a magical moonlit forest vibe and you play with so much emotion 🥰 You are very talented

[@evenkat6780]

What spectacular ✨️ performance , superb. Have seen and can play on piano but on harp never knew it is possible. Great work

[@holycrimpsauce]

This was great! Now for the 3rd movement!

[@GregSullivan-sb5vv]

Thank you for sending me this link. This was the first "proper" song I learnt on piano and even now, at 45yo, brings me to a standstill when I hear it. Your rendition is sublime, Kristan.

[@nolanbowen8800]

I love Beethoven! To me he is the Zenith of history's musicians. You play him very well. Ironically I love your version of "In the Mood" almost as well. I'd like to have you play all of it on You Tube.

[@christygj]

Beautiful ❤️ one of my all time favorite pieces of music

[@ianblack1824]

Beautifully played thank you. Soulful and emotional, like the best music. Perfect 💕

[@sdiverjack]

I've always loved this song, and for whatever reason, I think of my mom with this. She's been gone for 9 yrs now. Thank you for this! 😀

[@chriscopley3005]

I love this piece and you play it so beautifully ❤

[@davidalbro2009]

I used to have difficultly finding Beethoven in this piece. It didn't feel like Beethoven to me. I now see that the simple melody of repeated notes is Beethoven. The repeated descending baseline is Beethoven. The slow angst is Beethoven.

[@Championsofthesun]

A timeless classic ⭐

[@jhimschoot3007]

Captivating

[@theonehavingthekey5966]

BRAVO!👏👏👏👏👏 ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

[@professordoungut]

very specific but I’m not sure why this reminds me of I spy but like the Halloween version, this is a compliment! It’s pretty and reminds me of a mystery

[@endl3ss_stars]

i love moonlight sonata

[@joshuaferguson5756]

Fantastic job!

[@richardfagen1186]

Oh wow.. so beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@Thamizhlanban]

This sounds great in Harp, I like it better than the piano, it's very comfortable on the ears, kudos Harpist.

[@PhilosophicAI]

Excellent as always! Gonna keep requesting Best of Friends from the Fox and the Hound by Pearl Bailey. My wife and I did our first dance to that song! Keep up the great work!

[@markvanhook3717]

Played so well I just kept pressing "replay"! Very hypnotizing and relaxing. Absolutely beautiful!

[@marlanbell9907]

It is so beautiful and you play it so well. I think that Ludwig wrote this with you in mind.

[@basuranica]

Sounds like a heaven's music, thank you

[@sharimorris1021]

So beautiful, well performed. Full of emotion. Thank you.

[@MrKennethb83]

Unf that finish ❤❤❤

[@marionmuller5102]

Dreaming 🤩💯💓👏🙌🙏🎵🎵🎶

[@the_chomper]

OMG THANKS! earthworm jim rocks :)

[@Doublereeder2]

Really lovely! Such sensitive playing ❤

[@andesconst.5318]

Okay newbie here, but came for the Tool and Metallica covers and now this one is my new fav. What is wrong with me? 😳👀😍

[@waynehenderson1800]

Nothing against Tool or Metallica...but you are realizing what true musical genius is in both the composer, Beethoven, and in Kristan's heart moving interpretation and performance. I believe the harp personifies moonlight filtering down through the gently moving leaves of the trees on a warm summer night even better than the piano can. Kristan's phrasing brings out the emotions of a soul longing for love to touch them the way the moonlight gently touches the earth. Congratulations Andes! Brava Kristan!!!

[@kellywerner867]

I could listen to you play all day long. I love how you feel the music and let it play through you. Thank you for sharing your immense talent with us. ❤️

[@MrKoladge]

I love to watch you transform your sheet music into art!!!

[@libby2572]

Absolutely lovely!!! I love your music and I’m so glad that you’re sharing it with the world! I was wondering if there’s any advice you could give for effective practicing. I’ve been playing music for a while now and I still struggle to practice well. I’m always so inspired by your videos, keep sharing your music ❤️❤️❤️

[@LionheartedDan]

Deep emotion and flawless performance of this masterpiece - thank you for sharing!

[@brianmeyers651]

Waiting for something in my house to move out of the way so I can find a secret room or hidden compartment.

[@MrKennethb83]

I am floored ! How beautiful !

[@sarahbratty5931]

Listening to this on the harp is such a joy.. ..thank you.. I think I like this better than me playing it on the piano!! 💖

[@sharifhossain887]

Beautiful ❤

[@kickasscorm]

This was perfection. As a budding novice Harp player, this is a goal to aim for. Also, on a different note, can you please do a harp cover of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 sky chase zone please? I sent an email too.

Her.mosa interpretación, así como la ejecutan te.

This song is so beautiful

[@mattmaster2582]

A moment of relief, resident evil code Veronica X! Everyone will love it i promise

[@Sparky-ov1ot]

Class!

[@flynnmorrow6945]

Amazing how similar to the piano it sounds, but then I guess piano is a string instrument, too. So beautiful!

[@kennethcusmano]

I saw your "nothing else matters" on facbook shorts, did a youtube search for one of my favorite classical pieces and low and behold it was you. Great job and thank you.

[@brirhombus2469]
