Pianists of all backgrounds and ability levels are drawn to the 'Moonlight Sonata,' but only a few venture past the slow first movement and brave the presto third movement.

In this master class, co-founder of the Golandsky Institute Robert Durso works with Ben Laude on choreographing the turbulent right-hand figurations, showing how Dorothy Taubman's concepts of shaping, in-and-out motions, and the walking hand and arm can facilitate the awkward arpeggios and broken interval passages that define the piece's technical landscape.
