Menuet in D Major, K 7 -- Urtext

Minuet - Menuett KV 7 from the Notebook for Nannerl

This Menuet in D Major, K 7 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is part of the Notebook for Nannerl Mozart [Notenbuch für Maria Anna (Nannerl) Mozart], 1759-1764.

The original manuscript for this Menuet is in the hand of Leopold Mozart and is dated Paris, 30 November 1763 (Wolfgang was then seven years old).

This menuet was later arranged to include a light accompanying violin part, as was often done in Mozart's time.

This setting for keyboard and violin is part of Mozart's Sonata No. 2 in D Major for Keyboard or Keyboard and Violin, K 7, which was first published in 1764.

Please note that this score contains suggestions for performing the ornaments (in this case, a suggested trill and appoggiatura) in accordance with the performance practice of the Classical period.

This sheet music is an Urtext edition based on the Notebook for Nannerl Mozart.

Please note that the dotted slur in measure 8 is editorial but is similar to the slur in measure 5.

Also, one could add staccatos to the third and fourth notes of measure 8 (right hand), as is done in measure 6.
