It was written for piano, of course, because the electric cello had yet to be invented... "I used both of my 5-string electric cellos (one tuned extra high and one extra low) and the acoustic cellos to give this piece a unique feel and a high level of emotion. I used another melody from Beethoven -- try and guess what it is (guess before you scroll down to the credits where it is listed!) It starts at 1:21 and reoccurs throughout the tune. This melody happened spontaneous in the studio and saved the tune from a bad case of writer's block." -Steven Sharp Nelson Credits Music produced by Al van der Beek & Steven Sharp Nelson Written and performed by Steven Sharp Nelson Inspired by Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and the melody from Beethoven's 7th Symphony, 2nd movement (Allegretto) Recorded, mixed & mastered by Al van der Beek at TPG Studios Video produced by Paul Anderson and Shaye Scott of ThePianoGuys Locations: Salt Flats, Utah The "Enola Gay" Airplane Hanger, Utah -- courtesy of Jim & Tom Petersen - http://www.wendoverairbase.com Check out our Top 10 videos!
