2. As the director of Household
Services in Miami, Florida,
Liliana Bordallo performs duties
in areas that range from
childcare to interior design. In
her free time, Liliana Bordallo
enjoys classical piano pieces,
such as the Moonlight Sonata.

3. Considered the most famous piece of music in some circles
by classical composer Ludwig van Beethoven is the
Moonlight Sonata. The music provides several challenges for
pianists yet is ultimately playable by those with intermediate
skills. While the third movement requires technical ability and
manual dexterity, the opening movement should have a
dreamlike feel that some find difficult to obtain.

4. In fact, pianists argue over
how to use pedals while
playing the piece. Because
the piano has changed over
the years, the specific amount
of sustain and dissonance
has become a matter of
debate.

5. Therefore, the Moonlight Sonata is a technically and
emotionally demanding piece from beginning to end.
Its iconic popularity is even more impressive,
considering that Beethoven was quite hard of hearing
when he composed it.
