Bach composed these two Minuets for piano for his wife Anna Magdalena. They are familiar to anyone who has played piano for several years because they are standard fare. The melodies are often performed as solos for young developing players on any and all string instruments as well. The key of C major suits the tessitura of the three viola parts and also makes a fine trio for 2 violas and a cello. Duration 3’40.” Parts are well marked for style and bowings.
