Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Moonlight Sonata question

I agree with you about questioning whether there should be something extra notated. (In fact it was because of your earlier post that I didn't come back with the more detailed post that I had promised after my browser ate my previous post, because you said pretty much what I would have said.)

My comment about "something extra" was just meant to be addressing the rests question as a general notation issue: if you take this score at face value (without trying to decide if it's correct for the Moonlight Sonata or not), it makes sense to interpret the notes that have the down stems and think about what interpretation might be being asked for (if any!), and not be fussed about the fact that that voice isn't fully notated with rests to fill up the measures. This is in opposition to wouter79's complaint that the voice was incomplete; I'm not bothered by it being incomplete.

Of course I am bothered by whether or not it is accurate.
