Daniels on Notenbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach | Netherlands Bach Society

"In that sense, it's music for everyone within a domestic sphere." Charles Daniels talks about the Notenbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach and its songs, which he performed for All of Bach. This Notenbüchlein was a gift from Johann Sebastian to his wife. In fair copy, he notated two Partitas and all sorts of other music of Anna Magdalena’s own choosing, such as the aria from the Goldberg Variations and the song 'Dir, dir Jehova' BWV 452, as well as music by composers like Couperin and Bach’s stepson Carl Philipp Emanuel. Together, the Notenbüchlein form a colourful mix of arias, chorales and suites.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on May 12th 2018 in Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

I wonder what it would have been like to be "a little Bach person singing these tunes"? Thanks for this interview. Mr Daniels is one of my favorite people from NBS.

I love the harpsichords featuring in the background!

Anna Magdalena was an accomplished singer and music copyist who is believed to have earned as much as her husband at the court of Koethen. She was far from a housewife dabbling in music, rather a well respected professional musician.

Why is he subtitled?

[@felixmendelssohn4301]

Because it is like a documentary I think.

[@michelasernacchioli]

Not everubody can understand him easily😉

[@michelasernacchioli]

I mean not everybody can understand english so easily

[@stereotyp9991]

Yeah, but you can switch on subtitles on every RUclips video. These ones are within the video itself. Hard coded so to speak. But never mind. No that important :-)

[@bach]

We also publish this videos on our own website, and there we don't have built in subtitles.
