    While searching about for titles to fit this thread, I ended up learning Boccherini's Minuet this weekend. I think it's pretty familiar to most people (along with Bach's Minuet in G) and not hard to learn. If you find some of the intervals difficult (as I did) just play the top line note. (That 3rd fret on the A and 7th fret on the D, in the fourth measure, is quite a stretch!)

    I love this piece, and that's a nice mandolin arrangement.

    But it's been transposed from the original key of A and is missing sections.

    Here's a couple other versions:

    Original full E Quartet: http://imslp.org/wiki/Minuet_in_A_ma...herini,_Luigi)

    violin 1 all: http://burrito.whatbox.ca:15263/imgl...48.violin1.pdf

    score of the Minuet:

    flute solo version

    better solo arrangement (not free)

    I still didn't find the best solo version with all the melodic material on one part.

    I play the transcription that is given in the Suzuki violin book. I forget which volume. I actually performed it once.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    funny....
