This is a classical guitar transcription of a well-known keyboard minuet by Christian Petzold. It was formerly believed to have been composed by J.S. Bach as it is included in a collection of keyboard pieces compiled and dedicated to his wife, Anna Magdalena Bach.
Keep it light and airy with a moderate tempo. In bar 29, two D notes of the same pitch are played at the same time. One is on string 5 at the fifth fret while the other is the 4th string open.
Errors - just a couple of minor ones:
Bar 31 - The inner G on string 3 open is missing from the tab. Also, the tab shows a hammer on from the open B to the D on fret 3. That's obviously a guitar oriented departure from the original keyboard piece, so follow your taste and include it or not.
