Many years ago I came across a little Minuet by Haydn which is played first forwards and then backwards (yes really, from the end literally backwards to the beginning!). At least in musical terms al rovescio is Italian for either upside-down or back-to-front. I now know that there are (at least) three versions of it, and I now have the version that is the Minuet and Trio movement of Symphony 47, and the one that is part of his Piano Sonata No.26. So far I've had no luck getting to see a copy of the Violin and piano version that I'm told exists.

I tried asking on the General forum at the end of last month, which got me a copy of the piano version. I would expect the reversing to be written out in the violin and piano version as it is in the piano one, because otherwise the alignment of which notes start together is rather complicated to sort out. It's not nearly so difficult if you are just playing one of the single line parts in the symphony version, though even that needs a bit of thought because the spacing is wrong and the dynamic markings are in the wrong place.

Can anyone help?

I remember playing the piano one way back in the days when I played the piano! I don't even remember if the music was borrowed or mine and unfortunately my piano music is in storage.

Sorry I can't be of more help - good luck with your search

There is a Menuetto al Rovescio in the Haydn Violin Sonata No.4 in A Major, which has the same tune (in the piano part) as the Menuetto al Rovescio in the Piano Sonata No. 26. The reversing is not written out in full.
