Piano Music: "Musette" J.S. Bach

Here's a piece of music I've been on for two weeks. The song should be played on an organ, that's what Bach wrote it on. The piano wasn't invented yet, only harpsichord and organ. The "G" hanging throughout make it sound like a drone like the sound of a bagpipe.

The third line of music is a handful but if you get the fingering and have the "Treble Clef" memorized you can concentrate on the harmony in the left hand.

Notes from the teacher include playing the music slowly in 'broken time' until you understand the 'fingering' and the 'timing' and 'harmony'. Left hand should be played equal volume. It is important to practice this way.
