Tune of the Day: Minuetto in E minor

by Johann Martin Blochwitz

Johann Martin Blochwitz, a flutist in the Dresden Court Orchestra around 1717, composed many pieces of dance music, some of them appearing in Quantz's collection “Fantasies and Preludes” in 1740. This beautiful minuet is one such piece. Sadly, the appearance in Quantz's collection has led many to attribute the piece to Quantz, rather than to its rightful composer.

Thanks to Peter for suggesting this piece!
