(Baroque Dance) Bach Menuet in G major, BWV843 - Joy Yin (10y)

Played by Jiuchun (Joy) Yin at 10 years old Harpsichord teacher: Mrs Joanna Butler Menuet (Minuet) 3 in G major, BWV 843 was from the Notebook for Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (Clavier-Büchlein vor Wilhelm Friedemann Bach), which is a collection of keyboard music compiled by J.S. Bach for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann. Most of the pieces included are better known as parts of The Well-Tempered Clavier and the Inventions and Sinfonias. Most baroque music was dance music, and so terms such as minuet, sarabande, gigue, bourrée and gavotte refer both to a type of baroque music, and to the dances that were performed to them. Baroque dance is distinctively rhythmic, with a gentle rising and falling movement in each bar of music. It is danced lightly on the balls of the feet, with the heels only just off the floor and the feet turned out slightly, and each step sequence is accompanied by low, rounded arm movements, in opposition to the movements of the legs. Some dances involve complex and quick footwork, in a series of low springs and hops. Others are slow and stately. Minuet (from French menu, “small”, may refer to the short steps) is an elegant couple dance that dominated aristocratic European ballrooms, especially in France and England, from about 1650 to about 1750. Reputedly derived from the French folk dance branle de Poitou, the court minuet used smaller steps and became slower and increasingly etiquette-laden and spectacular. It was especially popular at the court of Louis XIV of France.
