About this piece

From the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (1725), a book of easy pieces for keyboard. A musette imitates the bagpipe, so the left hand keeps a drone of long bass notes under a dancing tune.

Why it is free to use

Johann Sebastian Bach died in 1750, more than 70 years ago. The notes come from the Mutopia Project's typesetting, taken from the source “Bach-Gesellschaft” (Mutopia piece 79, licence: Public Domain); we converted them to MusicXML and checked them against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note.

About this score

This is the complete piece, not an excerpt. The notes were converted from the Mutopia Project's public-domain typesetting of Musette in D major, BWV Anh. 126 (piece 79, typeset from the source “Bach-Gesellschaft”; licence: Public Domain) and checked against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note (repeats included). The score is the same music in a different file format; we dedicate our conversion to the public domain (CC0 1.0). Mutopia Project page
