First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.The Young Dancer is a light C-major dance in a two-beat meter. Repeated eighth notes and short melodic turns move above a regular, uncluttered accompaniment. Measures 1–8 present a softly repeated melodic pattern. The second four-measure phrase recalls the first and ends with a small pause. Measures 9–12 become louder and reach higher, expanding the tune’s range and varying its rhythm. Measures 13–16 bring back the familiar closing material and settle into the final cadence. Interesting fact: The score marks the opening “scherzando,” meaning playfully, giving this little dance an explicitly mischievous character.
