ABRSM 2021-2022 Grade 4, A:3. Minuet and Trio ~ Franz Schubert. Piano exam piece
The Austrian composer Franz Schubert wrote many keyboard dances – Deutsche, Lander, minuets, waltzes etc. – which often have the character of written down improvisations. According to his biographer Alfred Einstein. ‘This must have been the way he played when he provided music for his friends to dance to at parties. ‘The 30 menuette mit trios (30 minutes with Trios), D 41, 10 of which are now lost, date from 1813 when Schubert was only 16 years old.
Both the Minuet and Trio have repeated notes over a moving bass in their first bar. In other respects, however the two dances are very different from each other. The minuet is relatively plain, though spiced up with dotted rhythms, whereas the trio is more decorative and playful, with its bars long, but this one is only three bars.
