| First Movement
Calm introduction with oboe and flutes, punctuated by strings runs into a quick string melody, with a few dramatic chords. |
| Second Movement
This is a slow canon, with a middle section based on an eight bar circle of fifths. |
| Third Movement
In the style of a minuet and trio. (Da Capo al Fine senza repetitione) |
| Fourth Movement
Based on the tricks you can play between 6-6 and 3-4 time. With a little folk style melody thrown in the middle. |
| These are midi files, and don't give the phrasing or sounds of real instruments, but I hope you can get a bit of an idea of how it might sound. |

| First Movement
This starts with a slow preamble, then goes at a bit of a lick! You need to know your G major scales very well in some instruments. Practice to see how fast you can play one! Of course if you're a clarinet or trumpet, or tenor thats an A scale! |
| Second Movement
This is a slow and fairly serious sounding movement. You need to practice your E minor, F# minor for the Bb instruments |
| Third Movement
This is a regular 16 bar per section Minuet and trio in three four time. After playing all repeats remember to go back to the beginning, and play the first two sections without repeat. (Da Capo al Fine senza repetitione) |
| Fourth Movement
This one skips along in Jig time, or six eight. Some strange harmonies, especially in the middle! |
