🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： 12 Minuets No.11 in G-Dur Hob.IX:8

This minuet conveys a poised, well-balanced character rooted in the tradition of dance music. Keeping the flow of the triple meter steady while shaping each short phrase and its breathing points clearly will bring the musical outline to life. Be aware of the larger spans of the first and second halves, and in repeated sections, subtle changes in dynamics and tone can be more effective than simply repeating the same expression. Let the right-hand melody sing lightly, while keeping the left hand from becoming too heavy and allowing it mainly to support the harmonic movement. Do not rush ornaments or smaller notes; keep them within the supple flow of the dance.
