Answer 1

The correct answer is the option A - It happened in Bonn.

Ludwig van Beethoven was a popular pianist and a composer who wrote invigorating and powerful songs during the 1800's. The Moonlight Sonata is also a popular piano sonata composed by Beethoven and was dedicated to his pupil in 1802.

The Moonlight Sonata was remarkable structurally and also stylistically during the time it was published. Unlike the other sonatas, the Moonlight sonata had a dreamy first movement, a lively second movement, and an outright tempestuous final movement.
