🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： 12 Minuets No.9 in C-Dur Hob.IX:3

This is the ninth piece from Haydn’s 12 Minuets, an elegant and approachable dance movement. Built on a steady triple-meter pulse, its concise phrases pass naturally from one to another, while the contrast between the first and second sections shapes the overall flow. In the repeats, avoid reproducing the music mechanically; a subtle change of expression on the second time through can add freshness. Keep the left-hand accompaniment light and even, and the right-hand melody clear. Graceful accents without excessive weight and a sense of breathing at the ends of phrases will bring out the music’s refined dance character.
