Minuet in D minor, BWV Anh. 132
About this arrangement
It's No. 36 in the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. The notebook carries Bach's name, but his authorship of this piece is considered doubtful.
Notice the first and second endings: the first time through you play the bar marked 1 and go back, the second time you skip it and play the bar marked 2. Learn the ornament in bar 6 last, once the notes around it are secure.
Start with short loops.
Use the section list as a practice map. Start at 50% tempo, loop one section, then return to the full piece once the hand shape feels stable.
Choose Right or Left to focus on one hand. Wait for note checks the highlighted notes as you play them on the screen or a connected MIDI keyboard.
