Bus Station Moonlight Sonata

A project by Anton Hecht and Andy Jackson. Funded by The Arts Council of England.
Music: "Moonlight Sonata" by Ludwig Van Beethoven. Completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, it is one of Beethoven's most popular compositions for the piano. The name "Moonlight Sonata" has its origins in remarks by the German music critic and poet Ludwig Rellstab, who in 1832, five years after Beethoven's death, likened the effect of the first movement to that of moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne.
