Name that classical song

Its a very popular classical song. On Alicia Keys' first album "Songs in A Minor" she samples it on the first track.

I'm surprised it took someone this long to answer...

Generically, it is known as Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" (first movement)

More specifically: "Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia, (Sonata No. 14, Opus 27, No. 2, First Movement.)" in C#minor.

Composed in 1802, Dedicated to the Countess Giulietta Guicciardi.

Thanx, I thought it took a while for an answer as well. Altho I didnt know it, that is one of the most popular classical pieces ever. I figured either no one cared, no one heard that track from her album, or they forgot.
