Menuet en Ré majeur

About this work

This Minuet in D major fits on 1 page yet unfolds with lively writing: semiquaver runs cross several registers between punctuating chords. Repeats give that activity a clearly symmetrical form.

The Trio changes colour through a more connected line and restrained dynamic. Its accompaniment preserves the triple motion before the minuet’s return restores crisp attacks and rapid figures.

Secure changes of position without rushing the runs and keep chords brief. In the Trio, project the melody above a light bass; contrast should come from articulation and dynamics rather than a broad change of tempo.
