However, for over 250 years, everyone thought it was Bach that wrote it, since his wife had included the work in a book with a collection of pieces from Bach himself, as well as several other composers. Since so many people know it, it’s a great one to begin with! Written in G-major and only 32 measures long, Petzeld composed the piece shortly after the start of the eighteenth century. You’ve undoubtedly heard the melody of this minuet before.
