9. What is special about the last movement of the Moonlight Sonata?
According to Charles Rosen, the first movement is too delicate for modern instruments and the last is too massive for the contemporary. The first movement has an unspeakable mystery and tragedy, which finally results in rage and fury in the last movement.

+1. Did Beethoven write Moonlight Sonata already being deaf?
Beethoven was not deaf, when he composed this sonata in 1801. Although, he had had symptoms in his ears since 1798, meaning his hearing at this stage was not perfect either.

With a singular idea permeating this movement, the expected sonata form is somewhat obscured without the contest of first and second theme contrasting ideas that we have come to expect from Beethoven. The first theme ends with a cadence in E major, the mediant, in both the exposition and recapitulation. Due to the lack of motivic variety, the music relies on the harmonic travels taking place after the E major cadence to provide interest to the listener. The tension of this very compact sonata structure, as highlighted by the dominant-tonic relationship, occurs in the development section as it sits on a long dominant pedal point before returning to the opening theme in the tonic key.

The finale is fast, furious and forceful. The stormy opening theme is based on quick broken chords ascending over two octaves, stopped only by two loud bursts of chords punctuating the end of the phrase. There is no melodic content for these first few measures of the first theme. Although there is an underlying motoric drive in the music, the pace of harmonic change resembles that of the first movement. The second theme, stated in the dominant of G-sharp minor, is a melodic line over a fast Alberti bass accompaniment. A transitional passage after the second theme, also in G-sharp minor, features unison staccato chords. The development contains both first and second theme material.

The finale is notable for the extended transitional passages having its own theme and for its coda. This sonata form movement is not only the longest of the three movements by the number of measures, but it is also the most varied in terms of thematic ideas and its development. The coda not only added weight to the movement but also serves to balance the length of the recapulation section with that of the exposition which is repeated. The improvisatory passages in the coda also served to wind down the driving quality of the movement. In more ways than one, the substance of this movement is more befitting of a first-movement sonata form.

One gets the sense that there is a loose personal narrative behind this extraordinary sonata. He wrote it for himself, not on commission for someone else. It begins with pain and concludes with Beethoven venting his frustration and rage over his situation. If there were any doubt of his use of the piano as an outlet for his emotions, this piece ends the debate.
