Franz Schubert's 'German Dances (6), D. 970' is a set of six dances composed in 1828. The piece was premiered in Vienna in the same year. The six dances are written in the key of C major and are relatively short, with each dance lasting between one and two minutes. The first dance is marked as 'Allegro moderato' and is characterized by its lively and playful melody. The second dance is marked as 'Andante' and is more subdued, with a slower tempo and a more melancholic melody. The third dance is marked as 'Allegro vivace' and is the most energetic of the set, with a fast tempo and a lively melody. The fourth dance is marked as 'Andantino' and is more relaxed than the previous dance, with a slower tempo and a more flowing melody. The fifth dance is marked as 'Allegro' and is characterized by its staccato rhythms and playful melody. The final dance is marked as 'Allegro vivace' and is the most upbeat of the set, with a fast tempo and a lively melody. Overall, Schubert's 'German Dances (6), D. 970' is a charming and delightful set of dances that showcase the composer's skill in writing light and playful music. The dances are relatively simple in structure and melody, but they are full of energy and character. The set is a testament to Schubert's ability to write music that is both technically proficient and emotionally engaging.
