What is the name of Beethoven song that plays in dracula?

The specific Beethoven piece that plays in the 1992 film "Dracula" starring Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder is "Moonlight Sonata".

However, there are actually two variations used:

* The opening theme of the first movement plays during the dramatic carriage ride through the forest.

* The theme from the second movement (the famous "Moonlight" section) plays during the romantic, intimate moments between Dracula and Mina.

The use of this iconic and emotionally charged piece of classical music greatly enhances the film's atmosphere, adding depth to the themes of passion, darkness, and the passage of time.
