🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： 12 Minuets No.6 in B-Dur Hob.IX:3

This minuet is distinguished by the poise of a dance and its finely balanced phrasing. A steady triple-meter motion is enlivened by light accents and elegant ornamentation, creating an expression of refinement within its concise design. Listening for the shape of the first and second halves, as well as changes in the roles of melody and accompaniment, makes the structure clearer. In performance, maintain the flow of the beat while keeping the articulation from becoming too heavy, and allow a small breath at the ends of phrases. In repeated passages, varying not only the dynamics but also the articulation and tone color can bring out the lively character of the dance.
