This is a Tempo di Minuetto by Ferdinando Sor. It is a sweet and easy Piece and short enough not to bore the "faint of ear". It is in 3/4 Time, '|'s mark the quarter notes. As the piece is in a minuet tempo. Now, this is often interpreted as allegreto (~120). At the time this was Written though, minuets were often played slower. I like to play it adagio (~70) to let the sweetness come out. Pay attention to the dynamics. Let the chords ring throughout. The volume change at measure 9 is Striking and I like to play it sul ponticello and vibrato on select Notes for added effect.

I'm pretty sure this is accurate, but let me know if you find any mistakes.
