Menuet in G-Dur & Menuet in G-Moll, BWV anh. 126, attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach
3 minutes 11 seconds
These two pieces are attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, and are from the Bach family's musical notebook now known as Little Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach.
They appear one after the other in the notebook, the same as they are performed. I can not help but think that they are the same piece of music, just transposed from a major key in the first one to a minor key in the second one. The second halves of each are almost identical, except for the major/minor difference.
The first piece, the major one, is very well known. The second one is not.
Performed live on September 2, 2007 on Casio CT-670 synthesizer.
Music composed ~1725 attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach (public domain)
