Program Notes :
|
This Minuet in C minor by composer Jeremiah Clarke is very typical of the English Baroque style.
Please take note that the editor has included in this score suggested realizations for the ornaments, in this case shakes (the English equivalent to a trill).
In particular, shakes are played ON the beat, starting with the upper auxiliary note.
We suggest adding a shake to measure 2 in the left hand, in order to imitate the right hand in measure 1. The same is true for measure 6.
Also, we suggest adding a shake to measures 8 and 16. Although this is optional, is adds a nice touch of dissonance to these cadences.
Furthermore, measure 16 bears the indication End with the first strain, meaning that the player should then repeat measures 1-8.
