Description

Johann Sebastian Bach gave his wife Anna Magdalena two handwritten booksof music. The second one is of particular value with its gilt-edged, ve llum-covered binding. In this little book of 1725 he noted down numerouspiano works in the most different styles �� both his own and by other co mposers. The Henle Urtext edition faithfully reproduces the complete contents of this manuscript, aside from the movements from the ��French Suites�� (HN 71) und ��Partitas�� (HN 28) in the notebook, which can be found elsewhere in the Henle catalogue. It is also an example of beautiful engraving by hand.
