🇩🇪Ludwig van Beethoven ： Ecossaise No.5 WoO 83 Es-Dur

This lively miniature, with its buoyant pulse and concise phrases, forms part of Beethoven’s set of Ecossaises. Clear dance rhythms provide its foundation, while short musical units seem to answer one another, creating a familiar flow through repetition. Highlights include the changing accents within its straightforward gestures and the shifts of register.
