Line Rider BEETHOVEN

Beethoven meets Line Rider by Doodle Chaos

What was significant about Beethoven?  he was deaf.  When Beethoven would play piano, he would cut off the legs, sit on the floor and put his head on top of the piano while he played in order to feel the vibrations.

When Beethoven composed the Moonlight Sonata, he could partially hear sounds.  He composed this beautiful piece of music, because it reminded him of the moon setting over Lake Lucerne.  Beethoven also dedicated this music to one of his pupils -- Countess Guilietta Guicciardi.  It seems he really liked her!

Listen to the ingenious Line Rider version of this beautiful composition.  LINK

You can even draw a picture of a moon setting over a lake, or any other picture this makes you think about.  It would be fun to create a dance to this as well.  Would the dance be fast or slow? How could you show loud and quiet dynamics with a dance?
