Answer 1

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata was dedicated to Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, with whom he had a romantic connection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ludwig van Beethoven dedicated his Piano Sonata in C-sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2, commonly known as the Moonlight Sonata, to Countess Giulietta Guicciardi.
