Product Description

Opus/Catalog Number: Z.649
Key/Tone: A minor
Year/Date of Composition: 1689
Difficulty: Grade 1/12 (Easy)
Obs.: This piece is part of The Second Part of Music's Hand-maid, a very important album of English Baroque music.
The album contains music by two of England's greatest composers of Baroque music: John Blow and Henry Purcell, as well as works by other English composers.
The title Minuet does not appear in the original source.
This score contains suggestions for performing the ornaments (beats and shakes) in accordance with the performance practice of the English Baroque period.
These suggestons are taken from the Rules for Graces, a table of ornaments and their execution included in The Harpsichord Master (1697) and to which Purcell gave his consent.
When performing this minuet, the pianist may very well repeat the first and/or second phrase(s).
