Moonlight Sonata: I, easy version

Melody and a simpler left hand

The melody as Beethoven wrote it, with each left-hand chord cut to its top and bottom notes. It leaves out 463 of the piece's 1134 notes and adds none, so it is still the real piece: level 4 of 7, where the piece as written is level 5.

Level: 4 of 7
As written: Level 5
