The Minuets in G major and G minor, BWV Anh. 114 and 115, are a pair of movements from a suite for harpsichord by Christian Petzold in 1720, which, through their appearance in the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, used to be attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach.{{sfn|Schulze|1980|pp=54–58, 64}}{{sfn|Wolff|Emery|2001}}{{sfn|Schulenberg|2006|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=GnbGQzhz0SgC&pg=PA448 448]}}{{sfn|Williams|2007|p=158}}{{sfn|Yearsley|2019|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=8bGhDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA239 239]}} These minuets, which are suitable for beginners on the piano, are among the best known pieces of music literature.{{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=56}}{{sfn|Williams|2016|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=u-zNDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA233 233]}} The 1965 pop song "A Lover's Concerto", of which millions of copies were sold, is based on the first of these Minuets.{{sfn|Murrells|1978|p=[https://archive.org/details/bookofgoldendisc00murr/page/198 198]}}

History

In the late 17th century Christian Petzold became organist at the {{lang|de|Sophienkirche}} ({{literal translation|Sophia's Church}}) of Dresden. By the time Johann Sebastian Bach started to visit Dresden, Petzold was well acquainted with several of the city's musicians, including the violinist Johann Georg Pisendel, with whom Bach was also acquainted. In 1720, Petzold composed the music for the inauguration of the new Silbermann organ of the {{lang|de|Sophienkirche}}. Bach gave a concert on that organ when he visited Dresden in September 1725. Petzold died in 1733: as organist of the {{lang|de|Sophienkirche}} he was succeeded by Bach's son Wilhelm Friedemann.{{sfn|Schulenberg|2006|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=GnbGQzhz0SgC&pg=PA448 448]}}{{sfn|Williams|2016|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=u-zNDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA233 233]}}{{sfn|Schulze|1980|pp=56–57}}

=In the ''Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach''=

The second Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach was started in 1725. It opened with two harpsichord suites, that is, the Partitas BWV 827 and 830, composed and written down by Johann Sebastian Bach. Anna Magdalena Bach likely received the notebook from her husband in the autumn of 1725, as a present for either her birthday (22 September) or their wedding anniversary (3 December). Nos. 3 to 11 in the notebook are keyboard pieces written down by Anna Magdalena, likely shortly after she was given the volume. No. 3, the first piece after the two seven-movement Partitas, is a Minuet in F major by an unknown composer (likely not Bach), adopted as No. 113 in the second annex ({{Langx|de|Anhang}}, Anh.), that is the annex of doubtful compositions, in the {{lang|de|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis}} (BWV). Petzold's Minuets in G major and G minor, BWV Anh. 114 and 115, are the next two entries in the notebook (Nos. 4 and 5). These pieces may have been brought back from Dresden by Johann Sebastian when he visited this city in September 1725.{{sfn|Schulenberg|2006|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=GnbGQzhz0SgC&pg=PA448 448]}}{{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=64}}{{sfn|2. Notenbüchlein der A. M. Bach, 1725 (D-B Mus. ms. Bach P 225) at Bach Digital}}

Bach likely intended the simple binary dances contained in Anna Magdalena's notebooks, including the Minuets entered without composer indication, as teaching material, likely rather for his younger children than for his wife.{{sfn|Schulenberg|2006|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=GnbGQzhz0SgC&pg=PA447 447]–[https://books.google.com/books?id=GnbGQzhz0SgC&pg=PA448 448]}}

=Petzold's harpsichord music=

From the early 1720s Petzold owned a state-of-the-art harpsichord manufactured by Silbermann.{{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=56}} In Johann Gottfried Walther's Lexicon, published in 1732, Petzold is mentioned as a composer of "good keyboard pieces" ({{Langx|de|gute ... Clavier-Stücke}}).{{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=56}}{{sfn|Walther|1732}} Some of Petzold's harpsichord music appeared in 1729 collections:{{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=56}}

  • Georg Philipp Telemann included a harpsichord suite by Petzold in the last five issues of {{ill|Der getreue Music-Meister (Telemann, Georg Philipp)|scores|lt=Der getreue Music-Meister}}.{{sfn|Telemann|1728–1729|pp=[http://digital.slub-dresden.de/id347935648/87 81] ff}}
  • A collection of 25 concertos for unaccompanied harpsichord by Petzold was copied as {{ill|Recueil des XXV Concerts Pour le Clavecin|scores|25 Harpsichord Concertos (Pezold, Christian)|lt=Recueil des XXV Concerts Pour le Clavecin}}.{{sfn|Petzold|Kremmler|1729}}{{RISM|212009607}}

Heinrich Raphael Krause was a student in Leipzig from 1720, before becoming cantor in Olbernhau in 1725. Johann Benjamin Tzschirich was a student in Grimma when he started to copy harpsichord pieces collected by Krause in an album in 1726. Tzschirich came to study in Leipzig in 1729, and became a lawyer in Bitterfeld in 1736. Meanwhile, he had continued to add pieces to his harpsichord music manuscript, including compositions by Bach (part of BWV 914), Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow, Telemann, Johann Kuhnau and others. One of the last pieces he entered, likely around the time when moving to Bitterfeld (1735–1736), was a Suite by Petzold containing, together with eight other movements, the G major/G minor combined Minuet, otherwise only known as Nos. 4 and 5 of Anna Magdalena Bach's second notebook. Tzschirich may have had access to a score of Petzold's Suite via the Bachs.{{sfn|Schulenberg|2006|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=GnbGQzhz0SgC&pg=PA448 448]}}{{sfn|Schulze|1980|pp=51–56}}{{sfn|Stinson|1992|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=2Iyv3Syv9hYC&pg=PT10 10]–[https://books.google.com/books?id=2Iyv3Syv9hYC&pg=PT11 11]}}{{sfn|D-Bim Mus. ms. 29 at Bach Digital}}

Description

In Tzschirich's manuscript, the Minuet pair in G major and G minor is preceded by five other movements of Petzold's Suite, respectively a Prelude, an Allemande, a Courante, a Sarabande and a Bourrée. After the double Minuet, Petzold's Suite continues with a Gigue and a Passepied with Trio. According to the manuscript, the Minuets are to be performed da capo, in this order:{{sfn|Schulze|1980|pp=54–56}}

  • {{lang|fr|Menuet alternativement|italic=no}} (=first Minuet, G major){{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=55}}
  • {{lang|fr|Menuet 2|italic=no}} (=second Minuet, G minor){{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=56}}
  • {{lang|fr|On reprend le premier Menuet|italic=no}} (repeat the first Minuet){{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=56}}

Both the G major and the G minor Menuets, in {{music|time|3|4}} time, consist of 32 measures, each with a repeat sign at the end of the 16th measure (for a repeat of the first half of the piece), and another at the end of the Menuet (for a repeat of the second half). There are a few minor differences between these Minuets as they appear in Tzschirich's manuscript and how they are written down in Anna Magdalena's second notebook.{{sfn|Schulze|1980|pp=55–56}}{{RISM|467022504}}

Reception

In 1880, C. F. Peters published Nos. 4 and 5 of Anna Magdalena Bach's second notebook as two of "twenty easy piano pieces" ({{Langx|de|20 leichte Clavierstücke}}) from that manuscript.{{sfn|Czerny|Griepenkerl|Roitzsch|1880}} The Bach-Gesellschaft published the Minuets in 1894.{{sfn|Waldersee|1894|p=26}} After the publication of several anthologies, all the pieces of the second notebook were published in a single volume in 1904.{{sfn|Yearsley|2019|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=8bGhDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA11 11]–[https://books.google.com/books?id=8bGhDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA12 12]}}{{sfn|Batka|1904}}

In 1904, Max Seiffert published a description of Tzschirich's harpsichord music manuscript, however, without substantial analysis of its content: the correspondence of Petzold's double Minuet contained in it with the G major/G minor Minuets of Anna Magdalena Bach's notebook remained unnoticed.{{sfn|Schulze|1980|pp=51, 56}} In the first edition of the {{lang|de|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis}}, published in 1950, the two Minuets were included as doubtful compositions in Anh. II, along with nearly 20 other anonymous keyboard compositions of Anna Magdalena Bach's second notebook (BWV Anh. II 113–132).{{sfn|Dürr|Kobayashi|Beißwenger|1998|p=465}} In 1957, Anna Magdalena's notebooks were published in Vol. V/4 of the New Bach Edition.{{sfn|Dadelsen|1957|pp=83–84}}{{sfn|Minuet, G ("2. Notenbuch der A. M. Bach, 1725") BWV Anh. 114 at Bach Digital}}{{sfn|Minuet, g ("2. Notenbuch der A. M. Bach, 1725") BWV Anh. 115 at Bach Digital}} Without having access to other primary sources for the G major and G minor Minuets than Anna Magdalena Bach's notebook, Georg von Dadelsen, the editor of the New Bach Edition volume, remarked that the Minuets {{nowrap|BWV Anh. 114}} and 115 appeared to belong together.{{sfn|Schulze|1980|p=56}}

Outside the context of scholarly literature, and despite being marked as doubtful in the BWV, the Minuets were still generally considered as compositions by Bach. The melody from the 1965 pop song "A Lover's Concerto", written by American songwriters Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, was based on the Minuet in G major. The song was recorded by The Toys and reached number 2 in the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 in the UK Singles Chart. "A Lover's Concerto" sold more than two million copies and was awarded gold record certification by the R.I.A.A.{{sfn|Murrells|1978|p=[https://archive.org/details/bookofgoldendisc00murr/page/198 198]}}

Hans-Joachim Schulze published an article, dedicated to Georg von Dadelsen, in the {{lang|de|Bach-Jahrbuch}} of 1979 (issued 1980), in which he described Petzold's {{lang|fr|Suite de Clavecin}} (harpsichord suite) contained in Tzschirich's manuscript, and its Minuet pair corresponding to BWV Anh. 114/115.{{sfn|Schulze|1980|pp=51–64}} Consequently, from the next edition of the {{lang|de|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis}} (1990), the Minuets were attributed to Petzold and moved from Anh. II to Anh. III, that is the {{lang|de|Anhang}} of spurious works, their full BWV numbers thus becoming {{nowrap|BWV Anh. II 114 / Anh. III 183→}} and {{nowrap|BWV Anh. II 115 / Anh. III 183→}}.{{sfn|Minuet, G ("2. Notenbuch der A. M. Bach, 1725") BWV Anh. 114 at Bach Digital}}{{sfn|Minuet, g ("2. Notenbuch der A. M.

In the 1984 film Electric Dreams, the piece is the basis for a duet, or a friendly musical duel, between cellist Madeline and Edgar, the computer. This song from the movie soundtrack, titled "The Duel," was composed and performed by Giorgio Moroder.{{cite web | title=Song: The Duel written by Giorgio Moroder | website=SecondHandSongs | date=March 29, 2019 | url=https://secondhandsongs.com/work/134064/all | access-date=September 1, 2024}}

Notwithstanding their status as pieces for beginners, the Minuets {{nowrap|BWV Anh. 114}} and 115 were recorded by renowned performers (on harpsichord unless otherwise indicated), including:[http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Drilldown?name_id1=527&name_role1=1&bcorder=1&genre=128 Johann Sebastian Bach: Solo Keyboard] at ArkivMusic website. {{Retrieved|access-date=18 February 2020}}
