3 Duets for Alto Sax from the

Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook

J.S. Bach (1685-1750)
These approachable duets have been transposed to appropriate keys for the instrument.
The dynamics and articulations are editorial suggestions. Other interpretations are
possible. If desired, a teacher may play the upper line while a student plays the lower line.

According to conjecture, J.S. Bach began the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach
in 1725 as a birthday gift to his second wife. During the years that followed, Bach and
other members of his household added pieces to the notebook. Therefore, although
many of the pieces are by Bach himself, some pieces may actually be by composers
such as Bach’s son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.
