Two Little Pieces by Mozart and Haydn

For the latest survey of the music from 50 Greats of the Piano, I have played two little pieces by Mozart and Haydn.  From Mozart we have Menuett in G-major, and from Haydn, we have Little Serenade.

W. A. Mozart's Menuett in G-major is the last piece by Mozart on this book.  It is rather a short and sweet dance music, and I have redacted all the repeats in this piece, making it even shorter.


From Joseph Haydn, we have "Little Serenade."  In my humble opinion, Haydn is one of the most neglected composer, and this book, in my mind, only reinforces that notion.  This rather inconsequential piece, albeit charming, is the only piece by Haydn on this book.
