Hello,

We moved not too long ago and now I no longer have a piano instructor. Any way, I have taken up moonlight sonata. And in the piece that I have, on measure 24, there is an accidental I have never seen before. It is a natural followed by a sharp on the same note. What does this mean?

Thanx for any help,
squeekee

Actually make that measure number 35, sorry I miss counted. Also I think this may be a duet part of the piece, so maybe one accidental is for one player and the other accidental is for the other player. But any input on this from someone who knows for sure would be great.
Thanx

I don't have my Moonlight Sonata to hand, but this just means that the note is naturalised and then sharpened. It will probably have had an accidental on it in the previous bar. The Moonlight sonata is a solo piece unless you have a version edited for two players.
