The way that I learned piano is that the actual song is not always the hardest part of playing, it’s your attitude and ability to have great dynamics when playing that really counts. Edit: I've never made a comment that got this many likes. I never thought that this comment section would get so heated and if I upset anyone, I just meant to share my opinion.

[@goodnightsports]

Here’s a good song for beginners! Repeat A and F alphabetically and consistently in quarter notes in the first 4 measures (not played together at once), that will be your bass. On the treble side, play whole note F, then eighth note group E to D then a 4 beat rest. Then half note D, and after that, play eighth note group C to D, and after that, quarter rest, and then play whole note E. Repeat the treble for the second line, but change your bass (with the same rhythm) to B and G.

Indeed, you can play it however you want but you cant call it Beethoven anymore, maybe Beethoven with a twist. In the title you claim that this is moonlight sonata, when in reality your twisted version. If someone have not heard Moonlight Sonata they would most likely think that this is the original version which it is not. Anyways its always cool to experiment with different pieces and i respect that, please don’t take this to heart, i really appreciate that you are making content and hope you will get far on your journey!

Bro got quite a big hand. I barely made the first three moves with my hand.

[@MichaelKorman]

I already disproved this idea that my big hands are responsible for my success. Check out my short with the title "size doesn't matter"

[@thomasfisher763]

The left hand was spot on, the right hand started exactly as is but didn't fluctuate and move around like the original. I think thats what the criticism everyones having is. As you showed, its (on the right hand) G#(black key), C# (black key), E (white key). While playing everything the left hand did, with the right hand, go as follows: G#, C#, E (x8) A, C#, E (x2) A, D, F# (x2) G#, C, F# G#, C#, E G#, C# , D# F#, C, D# E, G#, C#(basically ends the "riff", or starting over at this point.) If you do exactly what he did on his left hand, plus everything i just said witht the right, you will play the intro of this song exactly as written. He just simplified the right hand is all.
