Summary of This Book
The Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach 1722 & 1725 for Piano (Premium Edition) opens a rare window into the musical intimacy of the Bach family. Presented to Anna Magdalena in 1722 and then enriched and replaced in 1725, this collection reflects the daily life of a household where learning, singing, and keyboard playing naturally intertwine. It includes pieces intended to be played or sung, pedagogical exercises, favorite pieces circulating within the home, as well as contributions and compositional attempts related to the family circle.
Often, "the" Anna Magdalena notebook is reduced to a few excerpts from the 1725 manuscript. Here, the approach is more comprehensive: this edition brings together all the materials from 1722 and 1725 in a single volume, allowing for an understanding of the overall coherence and evolution of the content. The score highlights the diversity of the pages (from simple to more elaborate), making it a valuable resource for pianists wishing to explore Bach's domestic universe, between repertoire, transmission, and early versions of more ambitious works.
Offered by Edition Peters, this publication stands out for its careful engraving, premium presentation, and thorough critical apparatus. The goal is to provide a musical text as close as possible to the sources, illuminated by the latest research on the texts, work attribution, and copyists' efforts. A volume that is elegant, serious, and inspiring, designed both for keyboard study and collection.
