Helmut Zerlett about his piano piece “Moon in C sharp minor”
“As I’ve found out, the C sharp is not only the first chord of that famous Beethoven piece, but also a very comfortable key for a pianist to let his fingers enjoy the feel of the keyboard, thus there was no other choice for me other than to let my own fingers play and have fun…”
