Mozart: Misc. Works
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Menuet I in C Major, K 6, was composed when he was between 6 and 8 years old. It is included in his father Leopold's Nannerl Notenbuch.
From the Wikipedia's article "Nannerl Notenbuch":
"The Nannerl Notenbuch, or Notenbuch für Nannerl is a book in which Leopold Mozart, from 1759 to about 1764, wrote pieces for his daughter, Maria Anna Mozart (known as 'Nannerl'), to learn and play. His son Wolfgang also used the book, in which his earliest compositions were recorded (some penned by his father). The book contains simple short keyboard (typically harpsichord) pieces, suitable for beginners; there are many anonymous minuets, some works by Leopold, and a few other composers including Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and the Austrian composer Georg Christoph Wagenseil. There are also some technical exercises, a table of intervals, and some modulating figured basses.[1] The notebook originally contained 48 bound pages of music paper, but only 36 pages remain, with some of the missing 12 pages identified in other collections."
Together with Wolfgang's Menuet II in F Major, Menuet I forms the third movement of the Mozart's Sonata in C Major for Keyboard or Keyboard and Violin, K 6, which was first published in 1764.
The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) is one of humanity's greatest treasures. Unsurpassed in its abundance of fascinating brilliant ideas and its immense breadth of emotion, it provides boundless joy to listeners and performers.
