Bagatelle in D Major

This tuneful Bagatelle in D Major, Opus 33, No. 6 is perfect for the intermediate-level pianist.

It is one of Beethoven's best known bagatelles, and is a favorite among pianists.

This Bagatelle features a Rondo form :

M. 1-8 : Theme in D Major
Mm. 9-12 : Contrasting section A starting in B minor and modulating to D Major
Mm. 13-20 : Theme returns, unaltered (except for the left hand in m. 13)
Mm. 21-30 : Contrasting section B in F# minor, based on the first motive of the theme; ends on a fermata on F#
Mm. 31-38 : Theme returns, unaltered
Mm. 39-46 : Contrasting section C in D Major, which is in fact a variation on the theme
Mm. 47-50 : Contrasting section A (same as mm. 9-12)
Mm. 51-58 : Theme returns, unaltered
Mm. 59-62 : Contrasting section A, varied (played in sixteenth notes instead of eighth notes)
Mm. 63-70 : Contrasting section C returns, unaltered
Mm. 71-end : Coda made of descending D Major scales over a D pedal in the left hand

Please take note that according to the performance practice of the Classical period, the trills (such as in measure 3) should be played on the beat, starting on the upper auxiliary note.
