About the tune
The Minuet in G major was long credited to J. S. Bach because it appears in the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, a collection of keyboard pieces from the 1720s. It is now generally attributed to Christian Petzold. The piece is a dance in triple time, so it moves in groups of three beats.
How it is arranged here
The arrangement is simplified for learning and is written in 3/4 time at about 112 beats per minute. It has about 8 bars and 33 steps in Any-key mode, where one press plays the whole step. The right hand has 32 notes and the left hand has 32. The lowest note is C2 and the highest is G5.
How to learn it
- Open the song and choose Watch to see and hear it once.
- Switch to Follow. The song waits for you to press each lit key, so there is no timing pressure.
- When Follow feels easy, try Play along and aim for 90% or better. The speed dial lets you start slow, and the coach loops any bars that gave you trouble.
Practice tips
- Feel the three-beat dance: one strong beat, then two lighter ones.
- Use Follow mode first, then add the left hand when the right hand feels easy.
Is it free to use and share?
The piece dates from the early 1700s, so it is in the public domain. Our arrangement is simplified, and it is written for practice rather than as a published edition. See our guide to public-domain music for what that means.
