Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Ray Thompson. This edition: pdf. Classical, Holiday. 8 pages. RayThompsonMusic #3222695. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553604).Beethoven Country Dances Beethoven wrote 12 Country Dances WoO14 for orchestra .(composed 1791 - 1802.) They are all quite short: some have trios.
Douze Contredanses (Fr.) or Zwölf Contretänzes (Ge.)
They are probably better known as a set of 3 piano pieces called Contre-Tanzes which are noted "frei bearbeitet von Isidor Wilhelm Seiss" (freely adapted by Isidor Wilhelm Seiss) Arrangements of those pieces are available on this site.
I have arranged the first six dances by Beethoven for wind quintet. I have used Beethoven’s natural horn parts as a guide for my horn part, so each dance has a horn part for a different natural horn. I also include a horn part in F
Some of the dances have parts for clarinet in A.(I have included a clarinet in Bb part for those cases)
Dances are as follows, with melody instruments listed
No.1in C major (Hn in C basso) Melody flute/oboe
No.2 in A major (Hn in A) Melody oboe
No.3 In D major (Hn in D)( Clt in A) Melody clt, fl, ob)
No.4 in Bb major (Hn in Bb alto) Melody Clarinet
No.5 in Eb major (Hn in Eb) Melody horn/clarinet
No.6 in C major (Hn in C basso) Melody Flute/Clarinet
A complete book of all six dances is also available.
