Ignaz Pleyel was born near Vienna in 1757. He was a favorite pupil of Haydn, and both Haydn and Mozart admired his compositions. He wrote a great quantity of music of every kind, but is now better known for his violin duets. This movement comes from one of those duets. In Loreta Fin's arrangement of Andantino Grazioso, the melody is passed around the sections. It is a good introduction to compound time, A minor, and the tonic major of A. It also allows the students to explore the elegant Classical bowing styles.
