    This rendition of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st movement may stretch the limits of classical piano purists' tolerance as it contains parts not intended by Beethoven -- the ethereal voices and strings are my addition. As a concession to those who might be offended, I placed this version in the Easy Listening genre where there's more leeway for such efforts. Just close your eyes, relax, and imagine the phantom choir accompanying the pianist as pale blue moonlight streams in from high windows, casting ghostly shadows which shimmer and sway with the music.

    For the first 20 seconds imagine that you're flying low over the ocean approaching a floating missile platform. Then as you near the platform and your helicopter breaks into a wide sweeping turn around the platform, the rocket motors of the missile on deck begin to fire and at 30 seconds into the song you watch as the missile surges upwards on its pedestal of flame.Remastered 5/4/00.
