Anna Magdalena Bach

Anna Magdalena Wilcke became Johann Sebatian Bach's second wife on September 22, 1701.  She came from a musical family and was influential in Bach's compositions both as an inspiration and transcriber.  It's suggested that she also composed a few of his pieces, though, it's undetermined on how accurate those suggestions are.

She's relevent to this discussion because of two notebooks that Bach presented to her as gifts.  The 1725 book started with two pieces by Johann, and then was filled with Anna's collection from other composers of the time.  Musette has an unknown composer, but guesses are that it was one of Bach's sons or Anna Magdalena herself.

Here's the best recording of it I can find.  It's a simple piece, but technically challenging.  There is a nice mix of stacatto left hand with right hand legato.  There are also big jumps on both hands.  If you browse through some of the other you tube clips you'll see a lot of pausing while people sight out the jumps.
