01 / The first 30 seconds
30-second entrance
Do not treat it as sad background music. Hear the triplets ripple like water before the melody matters.
00:00–00:50: listen only to the flowing triplets, then let the bass appear.
02 / LISTEN FOR
Three things to wait for
- Triplets as water
- Bass like distant bells
- A melody that withholds rather than weeps

Version / performer information
Moonlight suffers when played too sweetly. Strong versions keep a little coldness and let harmony glow by itself.
