The German Dance No. 12 is the final work in a series Beethoven wrote in 1795. The dances predate his monumental symphonies and show a young Beethoven writing in his earlier Classical style. This arrangement retains the original key of C Major and includes much of the material from his extended coda section. It is a very approachable selection that works classical bowings and style, without too much technical difficulty. Optional 8va notes are given for advancing players.
