Sonatina in A minor Op. 88 No 3 (Kuhlau)
Movements
i Allegro con affetto (A minor) ii Andantino (F major) iii Allegro burlesco (A minor)
Notes
Kuhlau was a Danish pianist and composer during the late Classical and early Romantic periods. He was a central figure of the Danish Golden Age and is immortalized in Danish cultural history through his music for Elves’ Hill, the first true work of Danish National Romanticism and a concealed tribute to the absolute monarchy. To this day it is his version of this melody which is the definitive arrangement.
