Description
This Andante in B-flat major, composed in 1782, has a calm, measured character, with delicate ornamentation woven into its unhurried pace. Although the tempo is slow, the melodic movement is intricate and calls for careful phrasing. It suits advanced players looking to refine nuanced, expressive musicianship. Also known under an alternate catalogue number, it lasts just under two and a half minutes with nearly nine hundred notes, a density that belies its slow tempo.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
