Franz Joseph Haydn ： Little Dance in F-Dur

A charming little piece with the character of a light dance. Its clear rhythmic flow and concise phrases keep the music moving forward, while the roles of the right-hand melody and left-hand accompaniment are easy to grasp. Focusing on the shape of each short phrase and on the transitions between sections brings out the appeal of its simple musical material. In performance, keep the beat precise without allowing the touch to become heavy, and let the melody sing naturally. Avoid exaggerated dynamics; slight breaths at cadences and phrase endings will convey the dance’s buoyancy and approachable character.
