Experience the beautiful, iconic "Adagio Cantabile" from Beethoven's "Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13" (known as "Sonata Pathétique") performed on a 61-key keyboard.

This is my cover version of the famous "Pathétique 2nd movement", arranged specifically for a standard 61-note portable digital keyboard. I wanted to show that you don't need a full 88-key piano to capture the emotional depth and beauty of this classical masterpiece. Whether you're a beginner, an intermediate player, or just a fan of Beethoven's music, I hope you enjoy this performance.

I am a grade 1 frustrated pianist who never got the chance to advance further but continued to study on my own. I learned this piece in 2001 along with Moonlight Sonata First Movement..and being the nearsighted fellow that I am, of course I am a slow sight reader. But I managed to read this in 15 days..memorized it and has been playing this from memory ever since. This is just my trial on a 61-key keyboard and not to be treated like a final performance. Of course, I will redo this if ever I get an 88-key keyboard. Hehe.

for now, enjoy this noob attempt. also, credits to @TutorialsByHugo for the scrolling sheet. I tried to follow his tempo and it's his reference tack i tried to tempomap..obviously i did not do it 100 percent accurate.
