'Sonata no. 14 in C♯m' is a recording of Alan Wilder performing Piano Sonata No. 14 in C♯ minor, popularly known as the 'Moonlight Sonata' by Ludwig van Beethoven. Wilder's performance was included as a B-side on the 'Little 15' single on May 16, 1988. The recording is notable in that Wilder makes several minor mistakes throughout the piece.

Notes

Alan Wilder performed Beethoven's 'Sonata No. 14 in C#m' (The Moonlight Sonata) on the 'Little 15' single but he told Release magazine in 1997 that it was actually Martin Gore's idea to record it.
