Minuet in A-Flat (with Mineur) for String Quartet, Hess 33, Arranged for Piano

Minuet in A Flat (and Mineur), Piano Version of the Minuet for String Quartet Hess 33, Hess 88 (about 1792). While Hess lists this piano minuet as a piano arrangement, there exists a "Mineur" for the piano version which apparently never existed for the string quartet version of this little dance. Very likely the piano version was the original and the string quartet version was an attempt at arranging a simple piece for a quartet. The minuet is found in an autograph in the Paris Conservatory and is published in Hess Supp. vol VIII; the Mineur, which states that it is "for the minuet in A-flat" is found in the British Museum in the Kafka Miscellany.
