The minuet features a canon between high and low strings at the interval of a single bar.

The player uses the highest string up to an octave.

The higher string may be doubled with a third string.

The work opens with gently shimmering chords in the high strings.

But I noticed that this only happens with the higher pitched strings.

Why do the higher pitched strings sound more "choppy" than the lower ones?

Depending on style the higher strings are picked by fingers or by picks.

So you could switch between high and low strings on the pickups.

It is accompanied by high chordal strings and a continuo line.

The high strings hold the high notes, and are joined briefly by woodwinds.
