The title Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach refers to
either of two manuscript notebooks that the German
Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach presented to his

notebooks, and a few pieces for voice (songs, and
arias) are included. The two notebooks are known by
their title page dates of 1722 and 1725. The title
"Anna Magdalena notebook" is commonly used to refer to
the latter. The primary difference between the two
collections is that the 1722 notebook contains works
only by Johann Sebastian Bach (including most of the
French Suites), while the 1725 notebook is a
compilation of music by both Bach and other composers
of the era. It provides a nearly unparalleled glimpse
into the domestic music of the 18th century and the
musical tastes of the Bach family. (Wikipedia)
