In Neil's "Prelude In D Minor" lesson by J.S. Bach, he played the beginning of 3 other tunes. it was in the section "part 2: preview" and they started at 1:03, 2:46 and 3:06. i'm trying to find out what the name of these pieces are, especially the first one. i knew how to play this when i was a kid and want to relearn it, but can't for the life of me remember what it's called. thanks so much for any help you can offer!

Hello Stephie,
The second one at 2:46 sounds to me like Ave Maria by Bach/Gounod.
The third one at 3:06 reminds me of a house in New Orleans :)

Good work Abilio. The second one is Prelude #1 in C from The Well Tempered Clavier by Bach, later used as a setting for Ave Maria by Gounod. The last was House Of The Rising Sun.
