ABRSM Piano Grade 2 2019-2020 A2 Anon. – Musette in D, Bwv Anh. II 126

Contact: lfchanmusic @ gmail .com A2 Anon. – Musette in D, Bwv Anh. II 126 This piece, generally thought to be by one of the J. S. Bach’s sons, is found in a little manuscript keyboard book, called ‘Claverbüchlein’ (Little Keyboard Book), that Bach dedicated to his wife Anna Magdalena in 1725. This little anthology gives a fascinating glimpse of the music-making that took place in the Bach family’s Leipzig home. The musette is an 18th-century dance movement in pastoral style, with a drone bass that imitates the small French bagpipe known as the ‘musette’. This explains the pedal bass that runs through much of this musette. A2 伕名. – D大調彌塞特舞曲, 作品BWV Anh. II 126 此曲一般獲認為是巴赫其中一位的兒子的作品，可在一本小鍵盤音樂手稿，名為 “鍵盤小集”（Claverbüchlein）中找到。於1725年，巴赫把這本“鍵盤小集” 獻給了他的妻子安娜馬格達萊娜(Anna Magdalena)。這本小集饒有趣味，可讓我們一睹巴赫家族在萊比錫定居時的音樂創作。 彌塞特舞曲是18世紀的田園風格的舞蹈樂章。樂曲用持續低音模仿法國小風笛 “musette” 的聲音。這就解釋了持續低音遍布整首彌塞特舞曲的原因。
