Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach

The Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach is either of two manuscript notebooks (in the hand of Johann Sebastian Bach and others), consisting of short pieces for the keyboard, including minuets, rondeaus, polonaises, chorales, sonatas, arias, preludes, and marches, which Bach presented to his second wife Anna Magdalena in notebook form.

Most of the compositions are both short and simple, and as a result they are frequently used in beginning piano literature and as part of children's piano recitals. The authorship of some of the pieces is questionable: it is not thought that they are all actually composed by Bach.
