Year 3 Music: Music appreciation 1 (Music with dotted rhythms)

I'd like to share two pieces of music with you; both of these tunes open with some dotted rhythms! (Please refer to your Music Appreciation Worksheet 1 for the scores.)

Humoresque in G flat Major, Op. 101, No.7

A Homeresque is a type of music that is funny or humorous. One of the most famous piece of humoresque is written by Czech composer, Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904). The piece is called Humoresque in G flat Major, Op. 101, No. 7.

Here is a performance of the piece by two very famous strings players, Itzhak Perlman (violin) and Yo-Yo Ma (Cello)

2. Minuet in G

This second famous tune was written by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827). In this video, the same violinist, Itzhak Perlman, plays the tune. It was from a Sesame Street show in 1980.

Can you find the composer of these two tune in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra Kids Website?
