The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach presented two Cluuierbu“chlein (Little Keyboard Books), copied with the help of
family
members and friends,
to his second wife Anna Magdalena. The first, from 1722, consisted entirely of his own music; the second, from 1725,
was an anthology of pieces mostly by other composers, for Anna Magdalena to play for enjoyment or to teach to the
couple's children. The
latter collection is the
source of this anonymous Musette. The title indicates a dance ofpastoral character, named after a type of small bagpipes
popular in the 18th century. The repeated bass notes in the accompaniment suggest a bagpipe drone, while the D sharps in bar 17' also imitate
rustic piping.

Appassionato . = ($.09

The Spanish guitarist and composer Francisco Ta'rrega was largely responsible for the revival of the guitar as a solo instrument in the
vears
around 1900. This piece published under his name is called ‘Tango', after the national dance ofArgentina, which is popular all over the Spanish—
speakjng world. However, it was printed after Ta’rrega's death, and closely resembles a Habanera (a dance of Cuban origin) written for two guitars
and called iEmiqueta, by Tairregals
compatriot and fellow-guitarist Carlos Garcia Tolsa (1858—1905). So it seems that Ta’rrega's ‘Tango' mav be an
arrangement rather than an original composition — in which case this duet version restores Tolsa's original scoring! In the exam, the candidate
