Badinerie Bachs Badinerie from Suite No. 2, BWV 1067 is one of the most well-known Baroque melodies and has become a real showpiece for many instruments. The meaning of "badinerie" comes from the French word badiner "to jest". This lively dance is a perfect solo to add as an encore to a concert or recital. Keith Terrett has arranged this movement for Horn solo and Piano, in the key of A minor with no range or endurance problems at all and perfect for the moderately-advanced performer.
