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.
