🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Die erste Notenbuch für Anna Magdalena Bach Minuet BWV Anh.116 G-Dur

This minuet is appealing for its light dance character and poised, approachable melody. The music moves forward with a contrast between the first and second halves, while the repeats of each section give it a clear sense of unity. The right-hand melody should sing naturally, while the left hand remains well controlled to support the flow of the beat; an excessive difference in volume between the hands should be avoided. Rather than overemphasizing the first beat of the triple meter, let the phrase flow lightly toward beats two and three to create an elegant dance motion. A slight breath at the ends of phrases and clear playing that preserves the continuity of the sound will bring out its character.
