Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven's "Ecossaise in G Major" is a short and lively piano piece composed in 1810. The term "ecossaise" indicates that it was inspired by Scottish dance music, which was popular in Europe during that time. Beethoven's "Ecossaise" in G Major is a delightful example of his ability to infuse simple, folk-like melodies with his own compositional style. While it is a brief work, it captures the essence of the charming, dance-like character typical of the period.

Faculty at Manhattan School of Music Precollege Daniela Bracchi breaks down the basic technical and musical challenges of Beethoven's Ecossaise in G – a country dance originally composed for military band. This lesson is suitable for different levels of beginners. Ample overhead views allow absolute beginners to study the piece without reading music notation, but the lesson is also a good opportunity to improve note-reading abilities. After defining the basic rhythmic, tonal, and formal aspects of the piece, Bracchi guides you through the work, bar-by-bar, one hand at a time, so you may methodically build the piece into your ear and fingers and, with some practice, deliver a tasteful performance.
