🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Quadrille in C-Dur Hob.IX:10-6

Haydn’s quadrille is a short piece that invites the listener to enjoy the refined meter of a social dance and the approachable flow of its melodies. Short phrases are clearly articulated, and the music unfolds through coherent sections that include repetition. The right-hand melody should be allowed to sing lightly, while the left-hand accompaniment maintains the pulse, keeping the roles of the two hands distinct. Rather than exaggerating the dynamics, shape natural breaths at the ends of phrases and in the transitions between them, allowing the dance’s elegant buoyancy to come alive. Ornamented movements should also remain unhurried, with even clarity for a fresh and polished performance.
