607 ( Christian Pezold - Minuet in G Major (Anna Magdalena Notebook II), BWV Anh. 114 )












This is another one of those pieces of classical music where you get the "I know that tune" feeling; another name by which I have seen this song referred to is "The Lover's Concerto." It is a simple little waltz piece that is usually played on a keyboard instrument.
Apparently in the past this song has been incorrectly attributed to J. S. Bach and/or his wife Anna Magdalena Bach, however it was actually written by another Baroque composer: Christian Pezold. It was made famous by the Bachs in the "Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach no. 2" in 1725, which included music written by J.S. Bach and other composers as well, among them was music from C.P.E. Bach (J. S. Bach's son), and Christian Pezold among others.
