This was the first truly “difficult” piece I played on my violin at 7 years old. It took me weeks of practice to master it, and it’s enthralled me since I was a boy. Something about it always sounded ethereal and heavenly, so I had to learn it.
Keep in mind like b flat major the key of g minor has 2 flats but start on different note. The b flat scale of corse starts on a concert b flat while the g minor starts on a concert g and plays the notes in the b flat scale and ends on a concert g. Also b flat major sounds happier than g major thats the difference between them
You suppose many of the kids here know that there is a lyrical version of this? It was in 4-4 time, but still the same essential piece. The Toys and The Supremes both recorded it in the 1960's as "A Lover's Concerto.". Us oldsters remember it-- "How gentle is the rain that falls softy on the meadow", and so on. The Supremes version was the best of the two.
@@user-vq7mm6yt4xif it was in b flat major it would sound more happy vs if it is in a minor key it would sound more sad. But I do see where you are coming from thinking it is in b flat major since there are two flats e flat and b flat but keep in mind that g minor has those same flats e flat and b flat.
This piece of music has brought tears for 3 centuries, so you're not alone. Sometimes the tears are for the almost ethereal simplicity and beauty, sometimes a longing. Did you know it was used in a rock song in the 60s? Search "Lover's Concerto". The lyrics are simple as well but can still move you.
Please, please, please, both minuets was composed by Christian Petzold!!!, nooo Bach, it appears in Anna Magdalena's book but that work and others works on that book has been writed for diferents composers, no all ot them from Bach.
