It is unknown when exactly Johann Sebastian Bach wrote his Suite for Orchestra No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067. It is a vibrant and fast-paced work, leaning towards the entertainment side of pure music. This suite is one of four such works that the composer wrote in his lifetime. Bach was not even slightly opposed to writing music for more money or power, but was less forthcoming with light music; he did not like it much. All of the lighter music he wrote was never published, including these overtures. These works were good for business, but Bach was more comfortable writing church music or works f ..read more

The great collector Francis O'Neill learned this tune from County Mayo piper James O'Brien, who visited Chicago (where O'Neill worked as a police officer) in 1876. He is described as

One of his peculiarities—and an unpleasant one, occasionally—was a habit of stopping the music in order to indulge in conversation.

This famous piece was traditionally attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, as it appears in the Notebook for Anna Magdalena, a notebook which Bach offered to his wife Anna Magdalena in 1725 and which was to be filled with favorite selections of the members of the Bach family.
However, recent research has concluded that this minuet (sometimes referred to as “BWV Anhang 114”) was probably composed by Christian Petzold, a German composer and organist contemporary with Bach.
As you will see, the score contains some suggestions for realizing ornaments in accordance with Baroque performance practice ..read more
