The direction on Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata is "quasi una fantasia," which means like a fantasy. The first movement is in a free form in which the melody returns after slight developments, somewhat akin to a slow rondo. The whole sonata is perhaps the most unstructured of all Beethoven's works in that form.
The first movement begins in C minor but variates a lot. The second movement begins in A flat major. The third movement is written in ternary forms. The trio section is in C major. The fourth movement ends in C major.
The first movement is in standard concerto form, with orchestral ritornelli bracketing several solo sections, the first of which moves from D minor to its relative major key of F, and the second of which cycles through other keys to return to D minor and recapitulates the exposition entirely in D minor, like classical sonata form. There is also a cadenza at the end of the movement in the middle of the final ritornello, as is usual in classical concerti. The second movement is a five-part rondo (ABACA), with the A sections all in the tonic of B-flat major, the B section moving to the dominant, F major, and the C section in the relative minor, G minor. The third movement, despite being titled a "rondo," is really much closer to sonata form, with an exposition moving from D minor to F major, a development that starts in D minor (its main concession to rondo form) and goes through other keys before returning to the tonic, and a recapitulation that plays in D minor everything previously exposed in F major. There is then a cadenza and a dramatic pause, and then a big, jubilant coda entirely in D major to end things happily.
Most music in the Western tradition is either in a major or a minor key (although many pieces will switch back and forth). A "key" might also be thought of as a "pitch collection" - the series of notes from which a composer will construct their piece. A more popular way of thinking of it is that major and minor represent different musical "moods" with major being associated with brightness or happiness and minor with darkness, volatility, or sadness. A specific example? Beethoven's first three piano sonatas are in F Minor (No. 1), A Major (No. 2), and C Major (No. 3). But each of these sonatas has four movements, and individual movements may begin in different keys (the sonata's key as a whole is usually determined by the key of the first movement). For example, the second movement of the first piano sonata is actually in F Major.

Third movement of Ludwig Van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, opus 57, colloquially known as the Appassionata
The first movement is in standard concerto form, with orchestral ritornelli bracketing several solo sections, the first of which moves from D minor to its relative major key of F, and the second of which cycles through other keys to return to D minor and recapitulates the exposition entirely in D minor, like classical sonata form. There is also a cadenza at the end of the movement in the middle of the final ritornello, as is usual in classical concerti. The second movement is a five-part rondo (ABACA), with the A sections all in the tonic of B-flat major, the B section moving to the dominant, F major, and the C section in the relative minor, G minor. The third movement, despite being titled a "rondo," is really much closer to sonata form, with an exposition moving from D minor to F major, a development that starts in D minor (its main concession to rondo form) and goes through other keys before returning to the tonic, and a recapitulation that plays in D minor everything previously exposed in F major.

I have been looking everywhere for the title. I have a copy but I think it's mislabeled on the CD because it says that it is a Movement from Beethoven's moonlight sonata but I know it's not. I haven't been able to find the music or the name anywhere. However, I do believe that it is a Beethoven piece.Actually it is a movement from Beethoven's moonlight sonata, to be more specific, its the 3rd movementActually it's definitely not the 3rd movement from moonlight sonata. I don't know yet, what it is, but not moonlight sonata.Its:Beethoven Piano Sonata #13 C Minor, Op. 27, No. 13 - 2. Allegro Molto E Vivace
