This is a charming piece of music in 6/8 time and taken from one of Beethoven's Sonatinas for piano. In this arrangement the violin plays the melody whilst the viola accompanies playing broken chords with the cello providing an outline bass line. A tempo of 66 dotted quarter beats to the minute is recommended and the music sounds in the key of G. This is a very good example of music described as drawing room or salon music. Individual parts are attached to the full score and the repeats are not played in the realisation or accompaniments.
