Haydn—and many other composers in his day—used this dance form as the third movement, or section, of a fourmovement piece. Thus, the third movement of the “Farewell” Symphony is a minuet. • http://www.classicsforkids.com/pastshows.asp?id=130 THE SONATA HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=OUWPJP5VDMA LISTENING COMPETITION: • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUWPJp5vDMA • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLjwkamp3lI • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mooB5Q-0FIE • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBmCcSz6HWw • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk58rWYoS-o • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psJ8jWvetPY
