Details about Petzold : Pieces in Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (1725) | Associated sheet music

This famous Menuet BWV Anhang 114 was originally composed for the keyboard in the key of G Major.

It was traditionnally attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, as it appears in Anna Magdalena Bach's Notebook, a notebook which Bach offered to his wife Anna Magdalena in 1725 and which was to be filled with favorite selections of the members of the Bach family.

However, recent research has concluded that Menuet BWV Anhang 114 was probably composed by Christian Petzold, a German composer and organist contemporary with Bach.

During the Baroque period, musicians customarily played menuets in pairs : a first menuet, followed immediately by a second menuet, and then the first menuet played again without repeats.

This menuet can thus be followed immediately by Menuet in G minor, BWV Anhang 115 (also by Petzold), after which it may be played again without repeats.
