Music at the Piano: Op. 1 No. 17 Minuetto Allegretto in D Major from "24 Short and Easy Pieces"

An instructional video for Op. 1 No. 17 in D major from "24 Short and Easy Pieces" by Alexander Reinagle. Reinagle originally composed these pieces for his keyboard students in Glasgow, Scotland, and brought them with him to the United States in 1786. In this video I include strategies for learning that include studying the harmonies the composer used. The "Reinagle Minute" covers a bit of biographical information about his initial appearances in Philadelphia.
