Today we will listen to Minuet in G.  Several people composed a Minuet (a slow, stately ballroom dance for two in 3/4 time, popular especially in the 18th century) in the key of G including Beethoven, Mozart and Bach.

How are the same?  How are they different?

JS Bach’s version

The Bach version also was “acquired” for a popular song in the 1960s

Beethoven

Rowlf from the Muppets plays the Beethoven Minuet

Mozart

So – never say to your teacher that “I already played that” – you never know which version s/he has in mind!
