Moonlight Sonata for E9 (Ist half)

Just for fun I have arranged Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata for E9.

Although I enjoy being able to share it, my primary reason for notating it in full is so I don't have to work out
how to play Bar x again when my memory fails. ( Old Timer's Syndrome)

I have omitted the bass line(s), A) for simplicity , B) to make it flow more smoothly, C)because I have access to
a "tame" bass player . If anyone is desperate for the bass line I'll try and type it out when I get time.

I have taken very little poetic license in the arrangement, much less than I imagined when I started.

I'm sorry for the little bits of screen image that appear in the tab ... I'll try and clean them up in the near future. (Done!)

2nd half to follow shortly....
