This is also my favorite childhood piece. The only difference is that I have just learned at the young age of 70. Just imagine what I will be playing, Lang Lang, when I reach the age of 120. The mind boggles….
Kind sir, I love when accomplished virtuosos play simple classical pieces with as much musicality and expression as they do larger works in the classical genre. So often students want to play difficult Music they are not ready for, this example played so beautifully brings life and worthiness into these timeless selections.
Yes, Bach's music definitely helps you to improve your memory and concentration skills but also your musical intuition. Bach is, without a doubt, the Master of masters, It's impossible to listen to his music and not be completely captivated by it. He composed every single piece with his whole heart and dedicated all his music to God and that, in my opinion, is what makes it special the most: one feels God's vibration/energy in every single note and in the pulse of his music ... Johann Sebastian Bach: "“Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.” - “I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music.” - “The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit. where this is not remembered there is no real music but only a devilish hubbub.” “Where there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.""

Thank you for posting this wonderful music. My name is Gavri'el and I think it's exciting that in our research we found that we may be a descendant of Christian Petzold as my family comes from Germany. My mom was a wonderful and talented organist in the Church here in the USA for many years. I was always amazed at how she would play the organ so well. And it's interesting that Christian was an organist too. According to history records it shows that Bach's eldest son replaced Christian as the organist at the Church in Germany when he passed on. Wish there was more music that could be found of Christian Petzold's work today. This generation would be blessed to discover the richness of these famous composers of the past. Bach and Christian along with many others of the Baroque period have inspired me to compose as well. Thanks again for posting this beautiful music! - Gavri'el
Thank you very much! This is very useful for my daughter to learn Bach's songs. She usually has a good memory and can remember almost all the pieces . But she says that memorizing Bach's songs is really difficult, and she needs to play and play slowly at the beginning ! Lang Lang played so beautifully that he shook our hearts👍🥰
Complete beginner here, 31yo. After a month of Hanon (1-10), my teacher proposed I either tried to learn Prelude VI (BWV 851), which looked pretty scary, or this Minuet in Gm. I went with the scary option for about a week, and after learning half of it my brain was mush, so for a break I decided to try the Minuet... suffice to say I memorized it in a single day. Of course I still play terribly, but I can definitely tell Bach is pushing the limits of my memory. Long journey ahead, but I hope we can all keep at it!
@@katttttt Life gets busy, but a year later I'm still practicing (less-or-more consistently) for an hour a day. I learned a few more minuets, I finished the Prelude (I play it on perhaps 1/3 or 1/4 speed), as well as a simple Chopin Prelude (Op28n20) and a Gymnopedie. I also learned how to play some songs that I composed myself a few years ago, after learning how to notate them in music sheet - which I still read at a snail's pace, have to memorize the songs instead. Got pretty decent at switching between maybe half of the scales and can do all 24 major/minor chords (no inversions) on command. Hand independence has developed somewhat if they're both playing even metrics, now practicing 2 on one hand and 3 on the other, brain is mush. My final goal is not to be a performer, but a composer, so the bulk of my learning has been theoretical, currently doing some counterpoint, it's nice. Being comfortable navigating the scales and improvising with them greatly helps with composition, but I still lack intuition when it comes to rhythm, I know how to count my oney-and-a-twoeys, but have no idea how to pick and choose to use them purposefully on my own creations. Overall, would recommend, great fun and I am still surprised daily by the magical properties of memory: The sequence that you barely managed to play today will be fully memorized after a good night's sleep. Good luck on your journey!
I think academics found out fairly recently that this wasn't actually a Bach piece, and considering it's in Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, it's not surprising that everyone thought it was his. It sounds just like what Bach would compose for his family.
I am very excited about your English language but you are from China ❤ but you made me excited more playing on piano music of my favourite compositor Johan Sebastian Bach,❤ thank you for playing
I am partial to the major piece purely because it was one of the first flute solos I played as a child, but I think the minor piece is more emotive. I haven’t thought about this in a very long time, but when I was a kid I thought they felt less like variations on a theme, and more like the same idea expressed when the composer was in two very different moods. Hearing them together like this, I think I still feel that way. :). Thanks for this video!
Excellent performance and excellent explanations! I was pleasantly surprised by Lang Lang's fluent English. It'd be nice if Lang Lang could record a CD of some classic (Bach Minuet, Fur Elise, Well Tempered Clavier, Neapolitan, Waltz in B Major, ...) piano music for small kids.
His tempo is interesting. My score is marked allegretto. Most recordings I've seen/heard play a fast allegro or slow vivace. He's about at moderato pace. . . I wonder if he's intentionally playing it slower for purposes of illustration.
That's what is written on the screen, and what Lang Lang says, so no real problem. The music is quite similar, so what goes for one, goes for the other

I liked when he started playing the part of some songs in G major but he started playing some thing else and can you play the butterfly lovers please❤️
Is this by Petzold or Bach or did the latter only perform it? Please attribute the piece correctly. To deny people knowledge of the true composer or confuse the issue is wrong.
It's the Bach version played here, Bach made it famous, but later it was discovered that its composer is Christian Petzold. So Bach basically committed plagiarism. Please learn music history before you make a comment.

Aos 70, certamente com nossa experiência de vida, podemos sentir a emoção que emanam dessas peças. Isso é praticamente impossível na infância.
I started at 68!

Es ist immer zuhören, das er der Meister ist. Danke Langlang
I like his interpretation of going from minor to major. A cloudy sky then some light shed, that's beautiful.
SUCH A TREAT TO HAVE A LESSON IN BAROQUE FROM YOU LANG LANG...YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING...LOVE YOU...

Give her sight reading practice it's very important for a pianist.
Bach is the godfather of all composers
When he said “I’m gonna play one of my childhood hood pieces I though he was gonna start playing moonlight sonata mvt3 or something 😅😅
Lol. I wouldn't jhave been surprised
😑
Come on, this video is about Minuet 1 and 2! Not moonlight sonata or any other pieces! Don’t read what the title says?

What a great video. The time and work that Lang Lang has invested in music and piano is a sign of love and commitment for his art.
You make the piano sound quite different, it's special. Love your explanations, such simple pieces but so beautiful played by you Maestro,! Xxxx
All this time i thought bach wrote this piece, thanks Lang Lang

A wonderful musical pianist and also a clear and articulate piano teacher. I know the major and will now learn the minor section.
As a Composer, for me this works is as basic lesson of counterpoint.
Totally beautiful
It's cool to be able to subscribe to Lang Lang, I had no idea
Wowie !
Excellent performance and excellent explanations! I was pleasantly surprised by Lang Lang's fluent English. It'd be nice if Lang Lang could record a CD of some classic (Bach Minuet, Fur Elise, Well Tempered Clavier, Neapolitan, Waltz in B Major, ...) piano music for small kids.
No happiness without misery.
Great interpretation and message
Amo suas explicações.
Thank you Mr. Lang! working on this piece. helps!
I dont even play an instrument. Just watching bc he seems so kind
thanks for the information
My hero is you ♡
Thank you
Didn't know there was a minor bit. So refreshing
Very interesting! Merci !
Oh that was great tips for getting into baroque! And yeah I started playing baroque with this piece
When he plays it, it sounds completely different
La música es mágica
So beautiful
Thank you very much very helpful information and performance
The sad minor version was amazing!!!!
Nicely played, mimicking harpsichord.
Very helpful.
Thanks.
minuet in g is the first piece I learned
Se quando aprendêssemos essas peças (infância) tivéssemos maturidade para senti-las 😢
Amo Bach! Tks!
Amazing👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Thank you Lang Lang
yes sir, memorise bach work is very hard. thanks for the lesson master
Great...
Christian Petzold is composer of this. No Bach. But Bach is my favorite composer.
Teach me piano Lang
😘❤️👏👏
Cool!
郎朗大師太棒了…👍🏽👍🏽
Your piano,,. Black Diamond, awesome ! Xxxx
U are the people who inspire me to play piano thx Lang Lang ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Very good 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lindíssima.
Agree about minor!!!
👍同意，复调音乐的精粹，懂巴赫的人慢慢就了解各大家的音乐作品基础
wow
Could someone recommend the score with good ornament fingering ?

My brain just exploded first time knowing the ridiculously famous minute in G is not by Bach
2:38
Is this by Bach of Petzold?
Ah, that’s why, so it’s a pair, learnt minor on guitar!
Im confused about the repeat in major one can any one help ?! There is no such a thing in notes but still lang langs performance is realy pefect .
I think there are two parts which are seperately repeated in Minuet in G.
@@xusun956 Indeed, and then another two in the G minor, also repeated separately.
A minuet always has two parts
I started with Hanon ..
Then Bach and Czerny..
i thought he said la campanella was his favorite childhood piece.
I learned these pieces too. But mine are not this version
My version of the minuet in g minor does not have the trills but still the same song
Pretty sure the trills are improvised
I definitely prefer minor keys too for the same reasons.
Deve se muito exigente cm professor 😂
The only problem with this is that probably Bach didn’t write or compose this piece -
