| Info: | The Minuet in G major is a keyboard piece included in the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. A minuet, also spelled menuet, is a social dance of French origin for two people, usually in 3/4 time. Until 1970 Minuet in G was attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, but it is now universally attributed to Christian Petzold! |

| The artist: | One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for organ, choir, as well as many other instruments. He spent most of his life as a church organist and a choir director. His music combines profound expression with clever musico-mathematical feats, like fugues and cannons in which the same melody is played against itself in various ways. |
