The fifth movement of Johann Sebastian Bach's second Suite for unaccompanied cello is made up of two minuets, the first in D minor and the second in the parallel major key of D major. While the first minuet has chords (rendered here as grace notes) in almost every measure, the second one has very few, and is mainly melodic.
