Description
A brief Menuet from Bach's French Suite No. 6. The Menuet is a courtly triple-meter dance known for its graceful, measured step. This particular movement is modest in both length and note count, asking the performer to convey elegance through a simple, unadorned melodic line.
Six keyboard suites by Bach that elegantly incorporate Baroque dance forms.
