Description
Bach wrote these two minuets in G major and G minor – recorded here for All of Bach with young talent Hanna Zhang from the Netherlands as part of a talent development project by the Netherlands Bach Society – for his son Wilhelm Friedemann. At the age of nine, Bach gave him a ‘Klavierbüchlein’ to learn to play better. In it we find early versions of the Inventions and the Sinfonias, but also some very simple little pieces, like these two charming minuets.
