Anna Magdalena Bach. I got it right away. It was opined that Anna actually wrote the Unaccompanied Cello Sonatas. I learned all of the pieces in both books of the Boosey&Hawkes -Bach For Beginners- series. They are brilliant. But, it can be said that he was actually an arranger, rather than a composer. Arrangers deserve more credit. Without Bach's arrangements, most of those melodies would not have made history.

Not to brag, but I got it at -In 2008 an Australian professor suggested...-. :D I remember well the kerfuffle around the issue, and at the time I hoped it would be true, because as much as I loved (and still love) Bach's music, I never really could get into his cello suites. Therefore it seemed easier to me to attribute the works to someone other than Bach! :D ;-)

I was really surprised that the surname Bach was included in clue #6. You probably had a good many people scratching their heads up till that point, although in several of the other comments, they couldn't come up with the first name of the -mystery- person.-

From the first clue I thought Clara Schumann (though I wondered why there would have been academic derision about it). Then we went back to 1723 and I knew I had gone wrong... It was -wife of Bach- from there, but I didn't know her name. Now I do! Thanks!

Got 50 points. Didn't think Bach's wife was a composer. If the city Leipzig came up as clue #1, would have stumble on the answer sooner. Someone who is a wife and a composer could have been Clara Schumann.

Ultimately she relied on public begging to get by. She died on the street of Leipzig on 27 February 1760, aged 59, with no money at all, and was buried in an unmarked pauper-s grave at Johanniskirche in Leipzig.

Well, truth be told, I am from a metal background and know little trivia about classical composers. With that being said, I know pretty well nothing about female composers. Parhaps a new series idea?

I got it on clue 2. At first I thought of Fanny Mendelssohn, but I was pretty certain it was Anna Magdalena after the second clue and completely confident after the third.

I too thought of Clara Schumann at first and knew it was wrong by the date. I never realized Bach had a wife who copied (and sold) his music. It's sad that she died in poverty.

Well, zero points for me. I didn-t know what Bach-s wife was called, and I didn-t have a clue he was even talking about Bach until the surname was mentioned.
