Print this Article (PDF) Email Article to a Friend J.S. Bach: Minuet #7 in GFor Irish Tenor BanjoMinuet #7 in G is one of the first Bach tunes I learned. It’s in a friendly key, pretty simple, and is one of Bach’s well-known pieces. He originally wrote it for his second wife, Anna Magdalena Wilcke. The Minuet was in a series known as Clavier-Büchlein vor Anna Magdalena Bach, or Anna Magdalena’s Notebooks. Her notebooks are just a series of simple songs, like the minuet, for clavier. This arrangement is the right hand melody part. In the next Banjo Sessions I will play the left hand accompaniment of the minuet. It makes a great duet! Minuet #7 in G Video
