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 This arrangement is of dances 1 to 6. Also available as individual pieces. 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)( Clt 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.
