Minuet

Postby Dayna » Tue Dec 22, 2009 1:57 am

Minuet is the title of a tune I've been learning from my music book. I know it's also a name for a dance but it sounds like a very familiar 60s pop tune but can't think of which one it is. Does anyone know? Someone told me once, but I've forgotten it now.

Me, I think.

Minuet in G Major, by JS Bach. Used as "A Lover's Concerto" by The Toys, a mid-60s hit. The Toys song is in 4/4, the original piece in 3/4 time. I'm guessing, but the piece is used a lot in guitar books. A lovely piece to play.

Oh yeah, it was you. Thanks. I hope I can make it sound as pretty on mine.
