by Billy Joel
This Night was written by Billy Joel and Ludwig van Beethoven, and released in 1984 as a single from his 1983 album An Innocent Man. The doo-wop–styled ballad sets Joel’s lyrics to a chorus melody adapted from the second movement of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13 (Pathétique). Although not one of his biggest chart hits, it has become a fan favourite for its blend of classical influence and Joel’s powerful vocal performance, and is often highlighted in discussions of his deep cuts.
