[@reckmo5542]

Thank you for sharing this. I've bee searching for this for a few years. Glad you kept a record. Youn Lenny was always the best.

Priceless footage... and the way they treat that Bach piece here is so beautiful... I hope there's a recording of it out there that'll surface some day...

[@Sofia571]

This is very nice. Don Francks would be impressed with the kind words. Morgan you certainly are proud of your grandpa. He is truly extra-ordinary.

Thanks for posting the entire documentary. I lost count of all the e-mails back and forth with Emily... glad that this work is finally available in its entire form.

[@slyme1711]

what an unbelievable piece of footage. Thanks for posting

[@jefftheschauer1]

Love the clip, love Lenny. Genius is an understatement

[@benblumeguitar]

Extraordinary!

[@BradMaestas]

So I did some digging and found the piece in question. It's the Menuet in Bach's French Suite No. 2, BWV 813. IMSLP has some good, clean manuscripts of the entire suite.

Hi Don-doubt you'd remember me. We hope you're well and so glad to see this vid. with you and Lenny. Many people in common. Ron Perry Jr.(Evans-Perry) says hello. His daughter Linda and I are partners and I'm still buds with PJ Perry. There's just enough love to go around for everyone...

Lenny was the greatest guitar Player i have ever heard.

[@janecz]

Love Don Francks. But I couldn't help seeing the size of the car he drives. How confortable the cars were at that time!! I'm brazilian and love jazz.

[@streetlightcollusion]

@berflatz Hey thanks for the reply, i had to delve into "one long tune" to find out and thought the same. I freakin love the sound of this guitar! kinda ghetto but not at the same time..

[@jaikwillis]

thats really nice

[@wckoek]

Its Minuet in D Minor from Anna Magdalene's notebook. BWV Anh.132

[@BradMaestas]

@wckoek I have verified that this is, in fact, NOT BWV Anh.132. I've played that piece (and Anh.114) a ton and neither sound anything like this. It definitely fits the Magdalena minuet mold, though. There aren't many transcriptions of the others so I'm going through the harpsichord manuscript (with soprano clef!) to find the one that matches. Anyone that recognizes it, please chime in!

[@jazzcommando]

On this video clip, between 4:10 and 4:30, Lenny plays a melody with accompanying bass line. I've read through the entire French Suite No.2(C minor), and there is nothing in there that sounds like this segment. Any ideas re. where this passage was derived from?

[@streetlightcollusion]

Sooo beautiful, i wish there was a complete recording. what kind of guitar is Lenny playing?

[@toohipgottago]

Does anybody know what's the complete name of this Bach Minuet?

[@rousejeremy]
