A lively and versatile though short piece by one of J.S. Bach's 4 composing sons. Competent playing of this music will require a secure playing technique and makes it an ideal performance piece. Typically a march is in 2/2 time and played briskly. The playback tempo in this score is 84 half note or minim beats to the minute. This March can be found in Bach’s family collection of music Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook which appeared in 1725. One of the challenges of the time was that music was frequently copied by hand and frequently it led to the wrong composer being identified as the source of a work. Editorial detail is in place for this short concise movement. All J.S Bach’s composing sons were taught by him and intestingly due to geography, age and different stylistic influences enjoyed different careers. The whole family is worthy of study not just the father.
