Practically everyone has heard Bach’s Minuet in G major from the Anna Magdalena Bach Book. That little minuet has been transcribed for nearly every imaginable instrument or combination of instruments in nearly every genre.
I unearthed an interesting post on the WFMT blog, entitled How A Bach Minuet Got a Motown Makeover. The writer, Stephen Raskaukas, brings up some interesting points in how the transformation occurred and suggests that the work may not be Bach’s after all!
Enjoy the article and draw your own conclusions.
