Franz Joseph Haydn ： 12 New German Dance No.11 in F-Dur Hob.IX:12

This dance is distinguished by a clear sense of meter and the graceful, approachable flow of its neatly shaped melody. Concise phrases respond to one another as the music unfolds, while the repeated passages heighten its rhythmic lightness. In performance, it is important to maintain a steady pulse and clearly distinguish the roles of melody and accompaniment. A light, unforced articulation, together with natural dynamic changes, brings out both the elegant character of the dance and its lively forward motion.
