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.

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.

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.)

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

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.
