💚Minuet in F Major by Leopold Mozart (Prep B)
Speech:
“I’ll be playing a piece by Leopoldo Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s father) called Minuet in F Major. A minuet is a very old dance for a couple (two people) in triple meter (in other words, three beats per measure). It was a famous dance during the 1600-1700’s, especially during King Louis XIV’s reign. King Louis XIV had dance lessons every day!”
