Minuet in F (Mozart) – Clarinet Duet

Description

A very short work; it was most likely notated by his father, Leopold, as Wolfgang was only five or six years old at the time. The entry for this work was composed in Salzburg in January 1762.  It was written for the harpsichord and is hence usually performed on the harpsichord, though other keyboard instruments may be used.  This piece is a single bar motif which is developed into an eight-bar exposition, which is repeated, and then modulated for another eight bars before being repeated again.  This arrangement is for two clarinets.
