And they're like, isn't this the most beautiful thing you've ever heard, Daddy? And what's the dad going to say? Well, it's no Moonlight Sonata, kid.
Stefan MolyneuxHOST

You've got another 20 years to go before you produce anything good.

So let's say you start and you want to learn how to play the Moonlight Sonata or you have a student that wants to learn how to play the Moonlight Sonata.
Ashlee YoungGUEST
29:02
Like what I fundamentally believe and what I bet a lot of your listeners believe is that your students can absolutely get there right like i inherently believe that any student can play anything they want to it's just a matter of like how long are they willing to work at it right and sometimes it's a lot longer than they want and so i used to tell my students like i cannot make you promises about the time frame that it will take you to learn this piece because there's too many variables but what i can promise you is that if you start and you don't stop and you implement what I tell you to do, you will get there.
Ashlee YoungGUEST

Jacob also said that he always knew that Moonlight Sonata would be the music over this scene because Jacob thinks it's the most beautiful piece of music ever written.

And that's what Shane hears when Ilya speaks Russian is the most beautiful music ever.
Cass MorannHOST
45:20
And now I'm just going to fall apart.
Cass MorannHOST

Cass MorannHOST
45:23
I also love the idea that All Believe in Anything is the Sunshine song and Moonlight Sonata is obviously the Moonlight song.
Cass MorannHOST
45:30
And they get there happily ever after because of the sunlight that Scott and Kip bring into the world.
Cass MorannHOST
45:36
But that also like Scott and Kip get this really loud external happiness.

Earth.
Katie PatersonGUEST
5:43
So Earth, Moon, Earth involved beaming Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to the moon and back to Earth using a kind of radio technology that's called Earth, Moon, Earth or Moon Bounce.
Katie PatersonGUEST
5:55
And it's a really, you know, underground, not very known about technology technology.
Katie PatersonGUEST

where people literally send each other messages via the moon, using the moon as like a kind of transmitter.
Katie PatersonGUEST
6:22
But I love the idea of beaming messages and using the moon as this kind of transmitter of messages to one another.
Katie PatersonGUEST
6:30
But instead of sending words, I decided to send a piece of music.
Katie PatersonGUEST
6:35
And that was Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
Katie PatersonGUEST
6:41
The song I translated into Morse code because that's the way it's sent.
RenHOST

And I think that...
RenHOST
72:09
You know, Moonlight Sonata is the thing that plays during Ilya's monologue.
RenHOST
72:12
And so it's like he's been in the dark for so long.
RenHOST
72:14
And I think that it is so heartbreaking.
