First of all, forgive my poor video editing skills, I’m not a video editor, so every video I upload is a challenge, this one was even more challenging because it’s not one musical piece, but three! That been said, let us start. As the name suggests, this work start with a prelude followed by two minuets, a major one and a minor one.

A note about interpretation and articulation

I usually don’t include any articulation marks or any instructions on my music, I leave that to the performer, whoever that may be. Tempo comes in first it’s 100 for the prelude and 90 for the minuets but it’s should actually be moderato (i.e. 108-120) As for articulations, whatever sounds good for you, is probably right, just don’t go too crazy and articulate every single dotted note. In my mind, articulation should be done gracefully.

An error

At the end of the first Minuet, there’s a repeat missing (it does appears at the start of the section), I couldn’t find out why Lilypond won’t allow me to put the repeat there, so please don’t forget to repeat the section as intended.

P.S.

This is by far the most complected and longest composition I’ve written to date.
