The Semantics of Musical Dialogue in the Pieces from the "Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach"

Main Article Content

Natalia M. Kuznetsova

Abstract

The aim of the article is to describe the semantic situation of musical dialogue to be found in the musical text of the pieces from the "Anna Magdalena’s Notebooks." J.-S. Bach’s instructive works are being considered here due to the fact that on one hand there are possibilities, which have been integrated in those simple and comprehensible pieces, not only to gain interpretive skills but also such of a composer, but on the other hand these possibilities are being usually neglected in the very practice of teaching. Considering the music of the notebook to be instructive literature aimed at acquiring skills of free music making opens up new horizons to variatively and creatively comprehend musical text, and hereby to think creatively. Such an approach to education matches the creative principles of music making in the age of Baroque, as the practice of variational recitation of a text was an established characteristic embedded in the tradition.

Keywords: J. S. Bach, musicianship, instructional compositions for the keyboard, pedagogy at the Children’s Music Schools
