Abstract

Moon is the same bright moon, but causes their various imaginations because of different angles of the viewers. Through more than 150 years, Beethoven, Debussy, Chen Peixun, the composers from three different countries in the world talked about three different emotions, different life experiences, different musical genres, different creation backgrounds, different music performances, different artistic conceptions, which interworked into their unique moonlight. The moonlight is soft and gloomy, or quiet and clear, or painful and helpless. But no matter what kind of moonlight, it all expresses the pursuit of individuality of the composer as well as the infinite love of life and nature. This article compares the three different moonlights in order to reveal the different music image and its charm of these three works.
