As his second wife she married into a young family with four children, and a busy household filled with music. The music book that Johann Sebastian Bach presented to his new wife Anna Magdalena in 1722, and replaced more lavishly in 1725, treats us to a tantalizing glimpse inside this unique family, allowing us to sit beside Bach as a composer, teacher, husband and father. Over the years, these notebooks became a place for the family to share instructional exercises, favourite pieces – by Bach and other composers – to play or sing, early composition efforts from the children, and first versions of some of Bach’s more ambitious keyboard works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrtext edition by pre-eminent Bach scholar Christoph Wolff, Harvard Professor and former Director of the Leipzig Bach Archive \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepresents the very latest in Bach scholarship, reflecting up-to-the-minute research on texts, authorship and copyists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA selection of the most popular pieces from the two notebooks in a practical student edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains works for keyboard and vocal pieces, following the practice of musical education and performance in Bach’s home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"South London Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56916451426690,"sku":null,"price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/9402\/3478\/files\/f539e74a-be50-4195-88d7-bf49a87e042b.webp?v=1790435061","url":"https:\/\/southlondonmusicshop.co.uk\/products\/bach-anna-magdalena-notebooks-piano-peters-ep11501","provider":"South London Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
