Did you learn the name of Moonlight Sonata from Resident Evil?

[Brivs]

It seems like whenever I hear that song, I'm instantly transported to the 90's playing Resident Evil.

Sad to say that I got into Beethoven because of Earthworm Jim 2's "Blind Cave Salamander" level.

 

[jb1234]

Nah, I learned of that piece (and worked on it) long before I had ever played a Resident Evil game.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Yes, and it made me look into classical music, as it wasn't something I cared about before then. Pretty funny when I think about it.

 

[Ghost Rider]

When I was little my mother always played it on the piano, partly because it was her mother's favorite.
Actually makes it hard for me to play the game now as my mother has been deceased for 13 years

 

[LazyLain]

Uh, no? Pretty sure I learned its name in elementary school. lol

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Yes

 

[Prine]

Yes.

I learned about it as a child playing Earthworm Jim 2...

 

[mclem]

No.

Spoiler

I learned it from Jet Set Willy.

No. It's one of those art pieces that you should know beforehand.

[Aaron D.]

Nope.

I was born in '69.

 

[Magnus]

100%. Love that you made a thread. I have these things intrinsically linked in my mind.

Click to shrink...

Same. Yes.

 

[xXJonoXx]

Yes I did.

 

[Adventureracing]

I just found out that it's used by RE in this thread.

 

[D23]

Yes

 

[lupinko]

lol no, I grew up in a piano playing household. I always heard that song being played in my childhood by family members.

 

[SirKai]

Yep. Played RE1 when I was 9 or 10, and that was my first exposure to it.

Same.

Dammit, I love Shadow Man.

 

[robot]

Nah I listened to a lot of classical music when I was a kid and just kinda absorbed the name at some point.

 

[Phil's Empty Chair]

Same.

Dammit, I love Shadow Man.

Just learned there's a remaster in the works. Finally!

 

[Neiteio]

I -seriously- doubt a St. Bernard puppy could compose such an elegant piece of piano music

 

[eraFROMAN]

It's pretty ubiquitous, I'd known it forever...

I also only played all the way through RE recently lol

 

[Fat4all]

no

im a bit of a classical nerd

it's a solid as heck beethoven piece

not my fav, but still good shit

Haha came here to mention this was where I heard it too. Died so many times on that level too, so that song is permanently linked to that level for me.

 

[Billdrew]

Yes, but when it comes to classical music I am so uncultured that I also only learned what 'Clair de Lune' was from playing The Evil Within

 

[ChoklitCow]

Yup. I thought it was hauntingly beautiful and perfect for within the game.

Immediately pirated it from some Kazaa/Napster/Limewire service at the time.

Even though I'm not a huge classical fan, I still get excited when I hear it play, and instantly think of Jill playing it.

 

[Deleted member 543]

Philistines. True connoisseurs learn classical music from Catherine.

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

Earthworm jim 2 for me! That and looney toons are what made me like classical music in general :

 

[Dark_Castle]

3rd movement of this piece is so, so good.

 

[TojoT]

Nope, we were taught some classical music in elementary school (mostly Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bach, and Grieg). Back then my favourite piece was Air by Bach.

 

[Deleted member 13155]

Earthworm Jim, and I knew it was something done by Beethoven. Just didn't know the name.
