every time i look up minuet on the internet i get what my suzuki book calls minuet one. i have researched what it calls minuet two and minuetthree to no avail. i origionally assumed these were all one piece split up for learning purposes, but upon research, i have failed to find any videos or recordings online of the entire piece being played at once. this leads me to beleive they are seperate pieces, making me wonder what two and three are, since i can find recordings but not any information about them.


i suppose my question is: can anyone explain what these pieces are and how they are related?
 
They are separate pieces.
What Suzuki calls Minuet 2 is from Anna Magdalena's Notebook and is numbered as BWV Anhang 116. (Anhang means "appendix.")
What Suzuki calls Minuet 3 is also from Anna Magdalena's Notebook and is BWV Anhang 114.
I can't find where Minuet 1 is from.

All three are in G major.
Enter the words "Bach minuet in G major" and you will get flooded with all three.
