Tempo di minuetto, 3/4 time. This piece possesses an elegant and mysterious atmosphere. It is characterized by beginning with a dotted anacrusis. As the minuet was danced as a court dance, it should be performed at a tempo that is not excessively fast. It is advisable to play while listening carefully to the harmonic changes that shift with each chord. From the anacrusis of measure 13, a horizontally flowing, singing melody is characteristic. Care should also be taken to differentiate the playing in the left hand. At the anacrusis of measure 21, the opening melody returns, transposed up an octave. Be careful not to play the final C note too heavily.
