Beethoven wrote 12 Country Dances WoO14 for orchestra .
They are all quite short: some have trios.
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)
Isidor Seiss (23 December 1840 – 25 September 1905) was a German composer, conductor, pianist, piano pedagogue and philanthropist.
They have a "romantic feel" to them.
My arrangement is based on the musical layout of Seiss's Dance Number 2, which uses parts of 3 of Beethoven's Dances. They are: Trio from No.5, Trio from No 6 and No.12.
Seiss freely adapts Beethoven's melodies and chordal structure.
I have used Beethoven's original orchestration as a guide to give a more authentic classical sound.
The horn part is for a natural horn in Eb.
I have ignored the coda from Seiss's arrangement.
Hope you enjoy them.
