Comments
Another minuet… I’m finding that I really like minuets, and this one is no exception. I am not following all the editorial markings in the score from which I am working. I have added more detached notes and changed the slurs. I am also trying out some additional ornaments. These changes are based on suggestions in a tutorial by Josh Wright.
