“Bach - Minuet In G Minor - Anh. 115” is a short Baroque-style dance piece in 3/4 with a darker minor-key character than the more famous Minuet in G major. The music is built around graceful slurred figures, simple two-voice writing, repeated sections, and a clear dance form. The right hand carries most of the melodic motion, while the left hand supports with long tones, bass movement, and short answering figures.

Measures 1–16 form the first repeated section. The right hand presents the main minuet melody with long slurs and small stepwise figures, while the left hand supports with longer held notes and simple bass motion. The section stays clear and balanced, with the melody moving in a calm, serious dance style before closing with a full cadence.

Measures 17–32 form the second repeated section. The right hand becomes slightly more active, with higher melodic motion, small accidentals, and short repeated figures. The left hand continues with simple support underneath, but the harmonic color shifts more often than in the opening section. The final measures bring the melody back down and close with a firm ending chord.

Interesting fact: This piece was long attributed to J. S. Bach because it appears in the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, but it is now usually credited to Christian Petzold. It is the companion piece to the famous Minuet in G major, and both minuets are often taught together as a matched major-minor pair.
