J. S. Bach - Orchestral Suite No. 2 (VI. Minuet)

Sheet music for violin

Info: Sixth movement (Menuet) of the Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067, scored for strings, continuo, and solo flute. The minuet (or "menuet") is a binary movement, though not with a da capo, as we expect of the minuet in the later eighteenth century. it is another triple-meter movement, grateful, moderate in tempo, and simple in texture.
Opus number: BWV 1067, Mvt. 6
Date: 1738–39
Artist: Johann Sebastian Bach
Born: 21 March 1685 , Eisenach
Died: 28 July 1750 , Leipzig
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.
