![]() ![]() This sort of falls into the category of contradictions and difficulty of realizing Suzuki’s ideal of “Universality”. ![]() Please do let me know if Petzold is credited in the Piano volumes. Yes, I had considered writing an article for the Suzuki journal at one point and even think that I may have sent them a proposal, but didn’t hear a response back. Thank you for reading, and for your comment. When someone incorrectly attributes the piece to Bach, look confused and say “Oh, you must be talking about the Petzold Minuet!” In honor of Petzold and of Bach, please correct this unfortunate case of mistaken identity when it arises. If we have to reduce him to just one piece, let us at least use a piece he wrote himself. If this music had the power to raise the dead, it would be the ghost of Petzold past that came to haunt. Take for example a children’s film called Mr Bach Comes to Call in which Bach appears to children who are practicing the Minuet and shares with them his life story. This Minuet has at times been virtually synonymous with Bach. I’ve been thinking a lot about this recently, not just about poor old Christian Petzold, but also about poor old J.S. Please, can we give the guy some credit?! At least there is any easy solution for naming the piece illustrated above: “Petzold Minuet”.ĭoesn’t anyone else feel bad for poor old Christian Petzold? The most famous piece he ever wrote, and for hundreds of years no one knew it. AND why is the Cello book 1 piece called “Minuet in C” when it is a transposition of well-known piece usually found in the key of G? This is all very confusing. Why then, in as late as the ©2007 edition of the Suzuki volumes, is this piece still attributed to JS Bach?Īnd why are the minuets called “Minuet 1”, “Minuet 2”, “Minuet 3”? Because that’s how they first appeared in the violin version of the books? But the cello books don’t use that order, and the numbers for the cello publication then become meaningless. The International editions include an updated title page that designates the book as the International Edition.Did you know? I didn’t, but apparently researchers have known since 1970 that Christian Petzold (1677-1733), not Bach, was the composer of this gem. ![]() 10 (Schumann) * Gavotte (Gossec).įor a complete list of the most recent printings by AMPV number, go to /suzuki.
