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 follow immediately Menuet in G Major, BWV Anhang 114 (also by Petzold), after which Menuet BWV Anhang 115 may be played again without repeats.

Selection of every Minuets From Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach

I am pleased to present you all with a very special opportunity to acquire a treasure from Johann Sebastian Bach's musical works. It is the anthology Selection of Every Minuets from Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, the result of my remarkable research and editing work.  

This publication brings together the minuets written for harpsichord or clavichord contained in Bach's original handwritten notebooks dated from 1722 and 1725. These pieces were created by Bach as musical gifts for his wife Anna Magdalena, likely to be enjoyed during her domestic studies of the harpsichord or clavichord.

I myself have diligently carried out the careful work of researching, transcribing and editing this important repertoire, faithfully preserving the notation and style of the era. In this way, musicians and scholars will be able to enjoy the works in their original form, without any adaptations.

We now have in a single, easily legible edition, all pieces organized with great care in the same sequence as in the manuscripts.

Whether for the study of the master's style or simply for enjoyment, this anthology will preserve under my curation Bach's most intimate creations in a practical and accessible way.

I am pleased to announce that in addition to the complete anthology, individual score editions from the collection are also available from our profile on the Müller Publishing company website. 

I guarantee that students and professors alike will greatly value the content's wealth of teachings.

I warmly invite you all to acquire your copy - a gift to yourself and to music history. It will be an investment that will enhance any collection.

I hope to count on your support for this endeavor. I will be grateful for any feedback or suggestions to further improve this project.
