The major 7th & 9th at the finis of the Menuet, 10:10, is so sweet and jazzy. Ravel would have come to jazz harmonies with or without America! xxxxx from San Francisco.
Second movement is my favorite. My husband tried to stump me by playing this the other day to see if I could guess which French composer wrote it. Not only did I guess the composer correctly, I remembered the name of the piece. He couldn't believe it. I told him I had a fantastic Music History teacher - Glenda Thompson at University of Georgia, aka Hurricane Glenda. THE BEST.
This would have been better if they: 1. Played seated. Way too much knee bending for a live performance. I think this is such a bad habit! 2. This is directed to the gents..Why not wear black and white & how about a necktie? It looks good and is professional!
