🇦🇹Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ： 42 Stücke “Londoner Skizzenbuch” Menuett in B-Dur K.15pp

This minuet from the “London Sketchbook” conveys a poised sense of meter and a light, flowing character within a concise musical style. Listening for the exchange between short phrases, as well as the contrasts in volume and register between the melody and accompaniment, brings out the expressive quality of its simple material. While maintaining the unity of the whole, performers should allow a slight breath at points of punctuation and keep the rhythmic lift and delicate movement of the notes clear rather than heavy. Restrained use of the pedal, together with well-defined articulation and natural dynamic shaping, helps bring out the music’s elegance and warmth.
