Songbook with 20 pieces from the “Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach”, notated as duets for Soprano Recorder and Alto Recorder.

After the death of his first wife, the German composer Johann Sebastian Bach married Anna Magdalena Wilcken in 1721. In 1725 he gave her a valuable music book with a precious cover and gold initials. Presumably in connection with the domestic music-making in the large Bach family, a collection of pieces by several authors and composers was created in various manuscripts. The sheet music contained different works, such as simple dance movements, artistic harpsichord works and also some vocal pieces, which the trained singer Anna Magdalena Bach probably liked to interpret.

All songs are written in classical musical notation, plus fingering images for the Soprano Recorder in baroque fingering. The sheet music for the Alto Recorder alone is also available as a download, including fingering images.
The sounds of the pieces are available online in an audio player with adjustable playback speed. There are three audio files for each piece – one of the duet and one each of the Tenor-/Soprano Recorder and one of the Alto Recorder. This means that you can also play these duets alone.
Extra-long songs are also available as a PDF download – no more leafing through the pages. Web address in the book.
The arrangements are intended for advanced players.
