Country Dance No. 1 is one of Ludwig van Beethoven's charming and lively 12 Contredanses, composed between 1791 and 1802.. These dances reflect Beethoven’s lighter, more playful side, often written for social gatherings.
This particular dance is in C Major and features a cheerful, rhythmic melody that captures the spirit of traditional country dances. It’s relatively short but full of energy, making it a delightful piece for pianists and listeners alike.
Anthony Galla-Rini has made an arrangement for accordions 1-4 and a string bass. A bass accordion can effectively replace the string bass
