Ludwig van Beethoven ： German Dance no.11 A-Dur WoO 13

This is a short piece in A major from Beethoven’s 12 German Dances. It is characterized by a clear dance pulse and a graceful, approachable melody, with compact phrases unfolding lightly. The melody in the right hand should be shaped naturally, while the left-hand accompaniment supports the flow of the beat without becoming heavy. By observing the phrase divisions and adding subtle changes of expression on repetitions, the concise structure can convey the lively character of a dance.
