Johann Sebastian Bach : Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (1725)

Piano or Keyboard – Baroque Period

Description:

The Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, compiled in 1725 by Johann Sebastian Bach for his second wife, is a cherished collection of short, "galanterie" pieces for keyboard. This edition, part of the authoritative Bärenreiter Urtext series, is based on the scholarly findings of the "New Bach Edition." It contains a diverse array of works, from minuets, polonaises, and marches to compositions by Bach's older children (like Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach) and even charming, simple pieces copied from the family guest book. While Bach himself contributed some significant works, such as two Partitas, the notebook's contents largely reflect Anna Magdalena's own tastes and the lively musical life of the Bach household. This new edition is enhanced with fingerings, making it an ideal choice for both study and performance.

Performance Tips:

When performing pieces from this notebook, focus on clarity, light articulation, and a sense of dance-like rhythm. The minuets, polonaises, and marches are often stylized dances, so conveying their inherent character is key. Pay attention to the distinction between different voices, as many pieces are polyphonic. The keyboard of Bach's time, the harpsichord or clavichord, had a much lighter touch than the modern piano, so strive for a transparent, non-legato sound unless otherwise indicated. The included fingerings in this edition are a valuable guide for navigating the technical demands of the repertoire.

About the Composer:

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) was a German composer and organist of the Baroque period. Widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time, his music is revered for its technical complexity, intellectual depth, and profound beauty. A master of counterpoint and harmony, his works across various genres—including keyboard, orchestral, and choral music—have had a lasting impact on Western classical music.

Contents:

This volume includes works by Johann Sebastian Bach, his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and other contemporary composers like Georg Böhm and Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel. The contents span various forms and are a testament to the Bach family's musical life.

約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫 : 給安娜·馬格達琳娜的鋼琴小品集（1725）

鋼琴或鍵盤樂器 – 巴洛克時期

簡介:

這本於1725年由約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫為他的第二任妻子編寫的《給安娜·馬格達琳娜的鋼琴小品集》，是一套珍貴的鍵盤樂器「galanterie」（優雅風格）作品集。此版本屬於權威的Bärenreiter Urtext系列，基於嚴謹的「新巴赫全集」學術研究。它收錄了多樣化的作品，從各式小步舞曲、波蘭舞曲、進行曲，到巴赫年長的孩子（如卡爾·菲利普·埃曼努埃爾·巴赫）所作的樂曲，甚至還有從家庭訪客簿中抄錄下來、充滿魅力的簡短小品。儘管巴赫本人貢獻了一些重要作品，如兩首組曲，但這本樂譜的內容很大程度上反映了安娜·馬格達琳娜個人的喜好以及巴赫家族生動的音樂生活。此新版樂譜增添了指法，使其成為教學與演奏的理想選擇。

演奏提示:

演奏這本樂譜中的作品時，應著重於清晰、輕盈的觸鍵和舞曲般的節奏感。其中包含的小步舞曲、波蘭舞曲和進行曲都是風格化的舞曲，因此傳達其內在的特質是關鍵。注意區分不同的聲部，因為許多作品都屬於複音音樂。巴赫時代的鍵盤樂器（大鍵琴或古鋼琴）觸鍵比現代鋼琴輕盈許多，因此除非另有標示，應盡量追求通透、非連奏的音色。本樂譜附帶的指法是掌握這些曲目技術要求的寶貴指南。

作曲家介紹:

約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫（Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685–1750）是德國巴洛克時期作曲家與管風琴家。他被廣泛認為是有史以來最偉大的作曲家之一，其音樂因其技術的複雜性、思想的深度與崇高的美感而受到尊崇。作為對位法與和聲的大師，他橫跨各種體裁的作品——包括鍵盤樂器、管弦樂與合唱音樂——對西方古典音樂產生了深遠的影響。
