Black Widow - The Waves

Juliet herself later recalled that the dedication went to her almost by accident. Allegedly at first Beethoven presented her with his piano Rondo (opus 51 No. 2) - a play designed in a gallant lyrical tone. And then he suddenly asked with an apology to return the manuscript to him under the pretext that it urgently needed to devote some work to Countess Henrietta Likhnovskaya, sister of Prince Karl, but he did not have time to compose a new play. Juliet as “compensation” was presented with the Fantasia Sonata in C Sharp Minor No. 14 (op. 27 No. 2). The name "Moonlight" was assigned to it only after the death of Beethoven, and it came from the poet Ludwig Relstab. Neither the composer nor his contemporaries have ever called this sonata. She was already so unusual that she did not need any additional epithets.
