In the section From Classical to Romantic: New Music of the Nineteenth Century , the two authors examine Beethoven's musical style and the imprint of this great composer's most beloved work, the Moonlight Sonata .

Ludwig van Beethoven originally wrote music in the style of the classical period, but his later works were inspired by romantic ideas.

One of the most beloved works of Beethoven is the Piano Sonata No. 14, Opus 27/2 (1801), commonly known as the Moonlight Sonata.

The slow, romantic opening broke with the tradition of sonatas of the period, which usually had fast openings. It reminded critics of moonlight on water, and the Piano Sonata No. 14 became known by this name.

By presenting the stages of music formation and development sequentially, starting from the genres shared by humans in the community from the beginning to the music style spread by new technology throughout the world today, the book provides readers with a lot of materials to better understand the meaning of the sounds that resonate in daily life.
