Kewl link, Mary in Kentucky!

Just for fun, try weaving the first two G-Maj menuets together. Several years ago, a chamber group I sang with did both menuets separately on Kazoos, and then did them both at the same time ...

The hardest part was to keep a straight face long enough to finish the piece without laughing.

Mary's Bach link missed the 'h' off the 'http' and should have taken you here

I found the Bach Minuet in G here. at the Classical Midi Connection in the Anna Magdalena notebook, number 3.

I found the Paderewski Minuet in G as background music here. (I think this is it...midi problems today.)

Ebbie they are not the same composition. Paderewski's, a more staccotto piece, is Minuet in G Major while Bach's is Minuet in G or more commonly, as you noted, the Lovers Concerto or to some How Gentle is the Rain. I agree, both are lovely.

If we can digress just for a moment from folk/blues/rock to this side: Does anyone know if Minuet in G by Bach and Minuet in G by Paderewski are the same composition? I haven't found the sheet music on the 'Net to compare.

I remember when Lovers Concerto first came out, back in the 60's, I think. I never heard the piece by Paderewski until the 80's and I don't remember any resemblance to the earlier one. But it was lovely.

Thank you in advance.
