About this work
The Menuet retains the memory of an old dance while letting its harmonies slide towards less predictable colours. Ornaments belong to the line; they must not interrupt the step or become separate objects.
Locate upbeats, cadences and bass before adding the inner voices. The first beat will gain elegance when it receives supple support rather than a systematic accent.
Practise ornaments within the tempo and retain clear pedal. Changes of register can alter timbre without altering the pulse, preserving the continuity of the dance.
