Information on chosen song choice

The chosen song for my music video is 'Moonlight Sonata Remix' this song was remixed from Ludwig Van Beethoven's classic 'Moonlight Sonata' and has been remixed by an artist named 'Solarfist'. This artist is not well known and I have only recently discovered him/her.
From what I gather on the DJ who remixed the song, they have a passion for music and like to introduce new and strange tunes to already made and famous songs.

The information I have on Ludwig Van Beethoven is different though as he is one of the world's most famous composers and pianist.German born, he composed and conducted many songs and symphonies as well as orchestras and was renowned at his time as being a brilliant musician. This did not degenerate even when Beethoven's hearing began to fade and even when he became completely deaf.
The Moonlight Sonata was composed in the summer of 1801 in Hungary, on an estate belonging to the Brunswick family. The composition was published in 1802 and was dedicated to Beethoven’s pupil and passion, 17 years old Countess Giulietta Gucciardi.
       The Sonata is one of the most popular piano sonatas from Beethoven’s creation. It is also named “The Moonlight Sonata” by poet Ludwig Rellstab who, in 1832, had this inspiration on a moon lit night on the banks of the Lucerna River. Some biographers make the connection between the unshared love the composer held for Giulietta Guicciardi and the sonorities of the first part. Even more so, this sonata was dedicated to Giulietta, the musical theme of the first part being borrowed from a German ballad as Wyzewa observed.
