Telemann: 168 Keyboard Pieces, TWV 36:106: Menuet

 

I played what's written as an F# in Telemann's notation as an E (in my modernized notation, it's the first note in the right hand in the fourth measure of the sixth line).  I think the F# is a mistake.  If it's an E, there's a sort of parallelism between the phrases in the sixth line (A D D D F# E F# | B E E E G F# G).


This is the last tune I plan on doing from the 168 Keyboard Pieces.  I'm skipping quite a lot of pieces near the end, but they're just beyond my skill level.  I'm also going to take a break from doing Pianet videos.  I don't know when or if I'll do any more.

I also played this on Hammond organ, although I recorded it just on my phone.

"O Christmas Tree"

 

I got this from James Bastien's Great Christmas Carols Arranged for Organ, but I didn't play it exactly like it appears in the book.  I played a regular E major instead of an E major 7.
