🇦🇹Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ： 12 Stücke “Notenbuch für Nannerl” Menuett in F-Dur, K.1d

One of the early miniatures included in the “Notenbuch für Nannerl,” this piece has the poised step characteristic of a minuet in triple meter and a concise, approachable melody. Short phrases form clear sections, and the way the dance-like flow emerges through these articulate divisions is one of its attractions. In performance, it is important not to make the first beat too heavy, but to maintain a light, buoyant pulse. Let the right-hand melody sing naturally while keeping the left hand restrained, and slightly relax the sound at the ends of phrases to bring out the piece’s simple beauty and refined character. Even, well-shaped notes and an unhurried, careful approach are also essential.
