For years, a composition known as “Minuet in G Major” was credited to Johanne Sebastian Bach. Now, it’s credited to Christian Petzold.
Whoever composed it, it’s the inspiration for the 1965 hit “A Lover’s Concerto” by The Toys.

Classic Motown, ‘nuf ced.
One of the things that has made Detroit the wonderful city that it is today.
Neil Armstrong, who became the first man to walk on the moon July 20, 1969, was born August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio, about halfway between Columbus, Ohio, and Fort Wayne, Indiana.
For those of you who are interested, here is what the minuet in G-major sounds like on a piano. It’s unlikely that it was composed for piano, since the piano wasn’t invented until 1725. Petzold died in 1733, or perhaps before. Bach died in 1750, and didn’t encounter a piano until quite late in life.
