Minuet in A major....
on: April 23, 2010, 03:02:43 AM
I'm trying to learn some basic pieces from each era so I'm starting with Minuet in A major from Beethoven. I wanted to find an mp3 or youtube video of this piece being played so I could get a better idea on how it's supposed to sound, but all i could find was his minuet in G. I got the piece from the book, Keys To Stylistic Mastery. It seems like this piece doesn't exist or something!

It's possible that it was written in a different key and transposed into A major for inclusion in the book you mention.
