Beethoven - Moonlight Raver (Liquid DnB Bootleg)

There was a song that my mom would always play on the piano until she could no longer push the keys. After she passed, I learned to play it on the guitar, and years later, my sister and I wrote this song to the melody. The Piano Song tells the story of my mother and the mystery in the grey space between the ebony and ivory. I was told my great-grandmother also played the piano until her husband wouldn’t let her. As little kids, my parents always talked about our hands, the potential we had to play, and what our reach would be on the keys. They pushed us to play the piano, knowing the world that opens when you connect with an instrument. The Piano Song is my journey into that world, where time dissolves, between life and death, black and white. The space between where my mother now exists, a place I too can visit through song.

The first movement of Beethoven's monumental Choral Symphony, this piece begins with a quiet, furtive two-note motif that quickly swells to a powerful fortissimo, showcasing dramatic contrasts between quiet and loud passages. It is a prime example of the composer's late style and features a sense of powerful, majestic energy.
