Minuet in G (BWV 114) - Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach - Played by Pianopod

This is my interpretation of a very popular piece, much loved by neophyte pianists! Minuet No.1 in G major (Anna Magdalena Notebook II/1), BWV Anna Magdalena Bach Clavier-Büchlein There were two manuscript notebooks, from 1722 and 1725 respectively, presented by Bach to his second wife Anna Magdalena Bach. The title most often refers to the second one, containing works both by Bach and other composers of the era. Most of the entries were made by Anna Magdalena herself, with others written in the hand of Johann Sebastian, some by sons Johann Christian and Carl Philipp Emanuel, and a few by family friends. Sometimes the authorship of a piece is indicated in the book, sometimes it is more doubtful. Recent research has concluded that this minuet, sometimes referred to as BWV Anhang 114 and its partner piece Minuet BWV 115 were probably composed by Christian Petzold, a German composer and organist contemporary with Bach.
