about

The new single from Newcastle based award-winning contemporary classical composer Steve Luck was inspired by the first movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata in C# minor 'Quasi una fantasia' - better known as the Moonlight Sonata.

'Crescent Moon', released on June 28th 2019, is an enchanting, beguiling, nocturne for solo piano. This original contemporary classical piece was inspired by the mood of the Beethoven original, but is distinctly different, with an evocative opening followed by a gently reflective and uplifting middle section.

Composer Steve Luck says of his piece “I have always thought that there was something special about the Beethoven piece. It is one of the most popular piano pieces of all time. I have always been fascinated by it. It is one of those pieces in which, the relative simplicity of the notes belies its emotional depth. That principle, how to get the most emotion from as few notes as possible, underpins a lot of the current contemporary classical scene and has intrigued composers for hundreds of years."

The piece was performed and recorded by Steve in his studio in 36 Lime Street in the Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle Upon Tyne on his 114 year old Bechstein grand piano. This intimate space in the beautiful John Dobson designed listed building also serves as the venue for Steve's popular Atmospherica series of concerts, which feature live performances from Steve himself as well as other leading contemporary classical composers.
