But How Will Susan McClary Explain All Those Patriarchal Cadences?

The secret is finally out. The great Bach was in reality not Johann Sebastian, but Anna Magdalena:

A study by an academic who has spent more than 30 years looking at Bach's work claims that Anna Magdalena Bach, traditionally believed to be Bach's musical copyist, actually wrote some of his best-loved works, including his Six Cello Suites.

Martin Jarvis, a professor at Charles Darwin University School of Music in Darwin and the conductor of the city's symphony orchestra, said that "a number of books would need to be rewritten" after presenting his findings to a Bach symposium last week.

The findings have been described as "highly important" by Bach scholars and will be published in a doctorate, later this year.

Be prepared to next learn that Anna Magdalena was in reality both black and a lesbian.
