Part of the 'Blumenlese' collection, this piece serves as a succinct model of Classical dance form. Its simplicity is its strength, relying on idiomatic keyboard writing and clear tonal functions.
At Henle 2 this is a beginner-level piece, where steady coordination between the hands is the main hurdle.

Focus on the differentiation between the crisp staccato notes and the smoother legato lines.
