Summary of This Sheet Music
This volume brings together a wide selection of solo piano dances by Ludwig van Beethoven, mainly drawn from works without opus numbers (WoO). Included are: 12 Minuets WoO 7, 12 German Dances WoO 8, 6 Minuets WoO 10, 7 "Ländlerische" Dances WoO 11, 12 German Dances WoO 13, 6 "Ländlerische" Dances WoO 15, as well as isolated pieces such as the Allemande in A major WoO 81, the Minuet in E-flat major WoO 82, 6 Ecossaises WoO 83, the Waltz in E-flat major WoO 84, the Waltz in D major WoO 85, and the Ecossaise in E-flat major WoO 86. An appendix completes the collection with 7 Contra Dances taken from WoO 14. These pieces, often brief and highly characteristic, are valuable for refining the sense of dance (accentuation, phrasing, breathing) and developing a stylistically accurate reading of Beethoven's musical language.
