This is a two part “cut down” arrangement for the beginner keyboard or piano player of a familiar piece from the classical music string quartet repertoire. The music possesses classical beauty and is sustained in its quality. Whilst attributed to Haydn it is now known to have been composed by Roman Hoffstetter. Whilst, the music in the movement does sound easy to play there are nevertheless challenges in playing music of this era well and musically. In performance, the articulation of the notes needs to be consistent - the melody is to be played legato and the accompaniment staccato or at least in a detached manner. A tempo of 100 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the bar is suggested. As a beginner score the letter names of the notes appear in the note heads. Remember that one of the best reasons to play classical music is that it is very helpful in giving players an awareness of basic structures and shapes in music. Additionally, it is also one of the best ways of developing a secure performing/playing technique on an instrument.
