What its lesson teaches
Study the Minuet in A minor from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (BWV Anh. 120). Its tied notes in bars 2–9 hold one line while the other moves, as you have played since Foundation; the new step is the trill signs of bars 22–25 and 28, which lead into the cadences: keep each trill even and land on the next note in time. At the keyboard: play connected notes smoothly, holding each tied note for its full value.
Technique A harmonic minor scale, hands separately, 2 octaves
