Minuet in C Major
Minuet in C Major
Menuet from Musikalische Nebenstunden
This Minuet in C Major is from the first volume of Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach's Musikalische Nebenstunden [Musical Leisure Hours].This volume was published in 1787.
According to Baroque performance practice, the quarter notes in the left hand of this menuet should be played slightly detached.
Please note that as J.C.F. Bach did not provide any dynamics or articulation markings for this minuet, the dynamics and slurs given in this score are editorial and should be considered as mere suggestions to the pianist.
Also, we suggest adding cadential trills to measures 7 and 15, as was customarily done during the Baroque period.
Duration : 00:55
