What classical piece of music begins with three off-the-beat notes?
There is a classical piece that begins with three off-the-beat notes. With not rhythm reference, one would think that the audience couldn't tell, but performers play upbeat notes differently than downbeat notes.
I just can't remember the name or composer of this piece.
Thanks

Btw: Although the time signature is 2/4, there is only 1 beat to each measure; therefore all 3 quavers/eighth-notes after the quaver/eighth-note rest are off-the-beat.
