🇦🇹Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ： German Dance No.1 in C-Dur K.586

This miniature is distinguished by the buoyant meter typical of Mozart’s dances and its finely balanced phrases. Short melodic units are repeated in a natural way, and keeping the divisions between the first and second halves in mind makes the overall structure easier to grasp. Its appeal lies in the subtle changes of expression within the approachable melody and in the flowing momentum created by the spring of the beat. On the piano, use a clear, light touch without allowing the sound to become heavy; avoid overemphasizing the accents, and let the ends of phrases retain a natural resonance to bring out the elegant character of the dance.
