Sex, Death, and Minuets Anna Magdalena Bach and Her Musical Notebooks【電子書籍】[ David Yearsley ]

＜p＞At one time a star in her own right as a singer, Anna Magdalena (1701?60) would go on to become, through her marriage to the older Johann Sebastian Bach, history’s most famous musical wife and mother. The two musical notebooks belonging to her continue to live on, beloved by millions of pianists young and old. Yet the pedagogical utility of this musicーlong associated with the sound of children practicing and mothers listeningーhas encouraged a rosy and one-sided view of Anna Magdalena as a model of German feminine domesticity.＜br /＞ ＜em＞Sex, Death, and Minuets＜/em＞ offers the first in-depth study of these notebooks and their owner, reanimating Anna Magdalena as a multifaceted historical subjectーat once pious and bawdy, spirited and tragic. In these pages, we follow Magdalena from young and flamboyant performer to bereft and impoverished widowーand visit along the way the coffee house, the raucous wedding feast, and the family home. David Yearsley explores the notebooks’ more idiosyncratic entriesーlike its charming ditties on illicit love and searching ruminations on mortalityーagainst the backdrop of the social practices and concerns that women shared in eighteenth-century Lutheran Germany, from status in marriage and widowhood, to fulfilling professional and domestic roles, money, fashion, intimacy and sex, and the ever-present sickness and death of children and spouses. What emerges is a humane portrait of a musician who embraced the sensuality of song and the uplift of the keyboard, a sometimes ribald wife and oft-bereaved mother who used her cherished musical notebooks for piety and play, humor and devotionーfor living and for dying.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
