Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata: Pure piano sex for the ears

I know little about classical music beyond the "Top 40" popular compositions, I'm not some snob trying to post about how much I know on the subject (hi GFY wine guys) but I do know one thing:

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is incredible, as I get older it just gets better.

I Googled it and found that Beethoven composed it as a romantic gesture towards a 17-year old Italian Countess who was a pupil of his, and whom he was in love with.

Think anything today will be listened to 200 years from now? How about the last techno "mix tape" you sent a girlfriend, think that will hold up to the test of time as Beethoven's did?

Treat yourself and go download it tonight.
