The Minuets in G major and G minor, BWV Anh. 114 and 115, are a pair of movements from a suite for harpsichord by Christian Petzold, which, through their appearance in the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, used to be attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach.[1][2][3][4][5] These minuets, which are suitable for beginners on the piano, are among the best known pieces of music literature.[6][7] The 1965 pop song "A Lover's Concerto", of which millions of copies were sold, is based on the first of these Minuets.[8]
