I had been playing Beethoven’s
“Moonlight Sonata” for several weeks
Or months, when I suddenly realized that
The pleasant sounding G# major chord
I had been playing was actually a 7th.
It changed the sound of that measure so
Dramatically and perfectly that I stood up
And shouted for joy and ran around the room
Doing fist pumps.
That Beethoven. A wonder.
How can the world contain such beauty?
