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. |

| The artist: | One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for organ, choir, as well as many other instruments.
