A Possible Composer
Recently, it has been suggested that Anna Magdalena Bach composed several musical pieces bearing her husband's name. Associate Professor Martin Jarvis of the School of Music at Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Australia, claims that she composed the famed six cello suites (BWV 1007–1012) and was involved with the composition of the aria from the Goldberg Variations (BWV 988), a claim which is dismissed more recently by Yo Tomita.

Famous quotes containing the word composer:
“Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
