Carl Maria von Weber's 'Easy Little Pieces (6) for piano, 4 hands, J. 9-14 (Op. 3)' is a collection of six short pieces composed in 1804. The work was premiered in the same year and was published in 1805. The six movements are titled 'Allegro', 'Andante', 'Menuetto', 'Scherzo', 'Romanze', and 'Rondo'. The first movement, 'Allegro', is a lively and energetic piece in 2/4 time. It features a playful melody that is passed between the two pianists, with both hands often playing in unison. The second movement, 'Andante', is a slower and more contemplative piece in 3/4 time. It features a simple, yet beautiful melody that is played by the right hand, while the left hand provides a gentle accompaniment. The third movement, 'Menuetto', is a dance-like piece in 3/4 time. It features a stately melody that is played by the right hand, while the left hand provides a rhythmic accompaniment. The fourth movement, 'Scherzo', is a fast and playful piece in 2/4 time. It features a lively melody that is played by both hands in unison, with frequent changes in dynamics and tempo. The fifth movement, 'Romanze', is a slow and expressive piece in 4/4 time. It features a beautiful melody that is played by the right hand, while the left hand provides a gentle accompaniment. The final movement, 'Rondo', is a lively and energetic piece in 2/4 time. It features a playful melody that is passed between the two pianists, with both hands often playing in unison. Overall, 'Easy Little Pieces (6) for piano, 4 hands, J. 9-14 (Op. 3)' is a charming and delightful work that showcases Weber's skill as a composer. The pieces are relatively simple and easy to play, making them ideal for young or inexperienced pianists. However, they also contain enough musical interest and variety to appeal to more advanced players.
