Moonlight Sonata of Philip Glass
(by the composer himself)



Arpeggio is the most prominent feature of the style Glass' music. In my musical experience arpeggio is associated with the most popular Betthoven 's piece "Moonlight Sonata". But also, I noticed that several harmonic sequences from this Beethoven 's opus are used in compositions of Glass. I decided to play with allusions to the music of these two composers. So I took some harmonic sequences from Beethoven 's "Moonlight Sonata" and arranged in Glass' music style. I imagined the way of composing "Moonlight Sonata" by Philip Glass.
