樂音IV 最熟悉的陌生人

原來普世認知優美的巴赫G大調/G小調小步舞曲（Anh. 114 & 115），在20世紀已被確認是德國作曲家Christian Petzold（1677–1733）的作品。這兩首小步舞曲，應該說，其實是同一首小步舞曲的兩段（Menuet I / Menuet II），出自Petzold的鍵盤組曲，結構為返始的A段-B段-A段。
The Minuets in G Major and G Minor (Anh. 114 & 115), universally attributed to Bach, were actually confirmed in the 20th century to be the work of German composer Christian Petzold (1677–1733). These two minuets are, in fact, two parts of the same piece (Menuet I / Menuet II) from Petzold's Suite in G Major, structured in an A-B-A da capo form.

這個純粹出自安娜筆記的美麗錯誤，可能是因為巴赫以其他作曲家的作品來教育學生，而不是他本人所作。目前很多樂譜以及出版品已經有校正，但似乎還有很多地方時空仍然停留在多年以前，這樣原作曲家Petzold恐怕會感到遺憾吧。
This beautiful mistake, originating from Anna Magdalena's notebook, might have been due to Bach using works by other composers to educate his students rather than his own compositions. Although many scores and publications have since been corrected, it seems that many places still lag behind in this knowledge. Petzold, the original composer, might feel quite disheartened by this persistent misattribution.
