Back Menuett in G-Dur (Paderewski) German Minuetto in sol maggiore (Paderewski) Italian メヌエット (パデレフスキ) Japanese Menuet în sol major (Paderewski) Romanian
The Minuet in G, Op. 14/1, is a short piano composition by Ignacy Jan Paderewski, which became world-famous, overshadowing his more major works such as the Symphony in B minor "Polonia", the Piano Concerto in A minor, and the opera Manru.
The minuet was written in 1887, the first of six pieces making up his Humoresques de concert, Op. 14. The full set is in two books:
Book I (à l'Antique)
- No. 1: Menuet
- No. 2: Sarabande
- No. 3: Caprice (genre Scarlatti)
Book II (moderne)
- No. 4: Burlesque
- No. 5: Intermezzo polacco[1]
- No. 6: Cracovienne fantastique.
- ^ The first edition misspells the Italian for "Polish" as 'pollaco'.
