Ecossaise

Ecossaise is a type of contra dance in scottish style and usually in 2/4 times with a lively rhythm. It has a significant dynamic contrast where pianissimo and fortissimo appear very close together.

In this video, Mathilda (9 yrs old) is performing Ecossaise in G by Beethoven. She managed to play it in a very lively style.
