This minuet was collected on the end of 18th century by the family Dahlhoff in Westphalia, Germany. The ABC is available at Simon Wascher’s TradArchive: http://simonwascher.info/TradArchiv/...32_Menuett.abc We had had a Schwabisch - another dance from this collection - as SAW #528 two years ago.
Great clean sound from that instrument, Frithjof. An interesting tune too, and well delivered.
My favourite mandolin did another great job! I especiallly lihe G-Major chords at the beginning of the phrases.
Well done Frithjof, I have searched the Dahlhoff collection and it seems full of beautiful melodies.
I couldn't translate your YT description so I see here what you were doing. It is very interesting and a good choice for your mandolin.
My belated thanks to all of you for the nice comments.
