Major, K ; Tchaikovsky 's Romance, Op Plus, Bach within a time of eighteen months surely had accomplished to organize his household in a way, that worked better from week to week, as in a large family more siblings with growing age get used to the fact, there is no mother around.
It's hard, but it's the way it works. Anna Magdalena was an artist too, she was an educated singer and she earned good money at the court of Koethen too. So she didn't marry as well for the reason, somebody had to care about her. So the question is left open, why actually Johann Sebastian Bach married a second time. More than 1, Bach Gifts?

The works which resulted are among the most dazzling, technically difficult and one could say almost bizarre works of their kind. There were two more children born to Bach and Maria Barbara. A little over a year after the birth of Emanuel, another son was born, Johann Gottfried Bernhard.
Gottfried Bernhard was a disappointment to his father, who called him his "undutiful son". In he matriculated as a law student from Jena University but died only a few months later from what was described as a high fever. He was only 24 and was the only one of Bach's children to predecease him as an adult. Whether or not Gottfried Bernhard composed is unknown; certainly no compositions by him have been identified. He was born in November and named after the Prince, who was the child's godfather.
Unfortunately the little boy died the following year, aged only 10 months. More sadness was to follow. While he was away, Maria Barbara died - of what cause is unknown - and her funeral took place on 7 July.
Emanuel, who was six at the time, recorded later in his father's obituary that Bach returned some time later completely unaware that his wife was dead. We can only imagine the effect this blow had on the composer. After twelve and a half years of marriage, Maria Barbara Bach had died at the age of only 35, leaving Johann Sebastian, also 35, a widower. The site of Maria Barbara's grave is not known.
The couple had had seven children, of whom four were still alive at the time of their mother's death: Catharina Dorothea, Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emanuel and Johann Gottfried Bernhard. The eldest was eleven, the youngest only five.
Maria Barbara's sister, Friedelena, continued living with the family as a housekeeper and undoubtedly her presence would have been vital to helping the family deal with this loss. It was expected that Bach would re-marry, such were the customs of the time. This he did eighteen months after Maria Barbara's death, taking as his second wife Anna Magdalena Wilcke.
How they met or how long they had known each other before the marriage is completely unknown. Anna Magdalena was the daughter of a professional trumpeter so she and Bach may have met via his musical contacts. At the time of their marriage Bach was 36, his new wife just We know so little about Anna Magdalena, but what we do know is that she was a strong woman with good musical training. She was a professional singer in her own right and a good keyboard player. He had begun such a volume for his eldest son two years before and now he gave to Anna Magdalena a volume which contained music to assist her development as a keyboard player.
The so-called "Anna Magdalena Notebook" is in fact two such books. The volume survives today in 25 sheets, and it is believed that this is only about a third of the original book. What became of the other pages is not known. The majority of the first Anna Magdalena Notebook is taken up with the pieces we now know as Bach's "French" suites, as well as a handful of smaller pieces, some of which are incomplete. The following year, , was an eventful one for Anna Magdalena.
In that year she had her first child, and at around the same time May the family moved to Leipzig. It was in Leipzig Bach had the post for which he is most remembered today, that of Thomaskantor, one of the most important musical posts in Germany at the time.
He was to hold the post until his death 27 years later. Anna Magdalena's first child was a daughter, Christiana Sophia Henrietta, but she died at the age of three. Less than a year after the first birth came the second, in February This time it was a son, Gottfried Heinrich.
Gottfried Heinrich was intellectually disabled but he lived into adulthood and according to Emanuel Bach showed "a great genius which failed to develop". Still, he seems to have been much loved and cared for by the family, and he is said to have been a good keyboard player. In , after his father's death, Gottfried Heinrich went to Naumburg to live in the care of his brother-in-law.
He died in at the age of It's more than likely that Gottfried Heinrich played the pieces in his mother's Notebook. She copied the minuets from the second and third "French" suites separately into the book and I can imagine her supervising her special son's practice of these pieces.
A little over a year after Gottfried Heinrich was born, Anna Magdalena gave birth to another son, Christian Gottfried. Sadly, the little boy died only three years later.
Anna Magdalena's fourth child, born almost exactly a year after Christian Gottfried, was a daughter, Elisabeth Juliane Friederica. Almost nothing is known of her life but she lived until and was 55 when she died.
It was in that Bach prepared a much more elaborate musical notebook for his wife, the second "Anna Magdalena Notebook". This is the better-known volume but apart from the keyboard partitas which Bach copied in at the start of the book, the majority of the contents were copied in by Anna Magdalena herself. Much of this is by composers other than Bach, and some of the pieces are the earliest-known compositions of Carl Philipp Emanuel.
Some of the pieces long believed to have been by Bach himself have more recently been shown to have been by others. Perhaps the most famous of them all is now known to have been composed by the Dresden court organist, Christian Petzold. The Notebook contains a large number of short pieces, some songs, and some cantata arias.
Rather than being an indication of Bach's teaching methods, the fact that it was mostly compiled by Anna Magdalena herself makes it feel more like a domestic musical scrapbook, keeping tabs on much-loved pieces and preserving the first creative efforts of the older children.
That the Bach household would have been full of music is probably one the greatest understatements of all time.
Anna Magdalena's almost constant state of pregnancy did not preclude her from being a vital player in the Bach household. In her domestic duties she was still assisted by Friedelena the sister of Bach's first wife who remained as housekeeper until her death in There are also indications that there was a maid attached to the house by as early as After Friedelena's death she was replaced as the main housekeeper by Bach's own eldest daughter from his first marriage, Catharina, then But Anna Magdalena's musical skills made her an invaluable professional assistant to her husband.
Many of the surviving instrumental and vocal parts for the cantatas are in her hand and she was clearly part of the Bach "factory" which produced the performing materials for her husband's cantatas and other works each week. As the other children grew musically literate they too chipped in. In the era where every copy, vocal and instrumental, was hand-written, the sheer amount of work is staggering to consider. There were even times when, between her pregnancies, Anna Magdalena managed to travel with Bach and perform with him, but these were infrequent.
She continued to have children almost annually, with the next being a son, Ernestus Andreas. He was born in October but died after only two or three days of life.
Less than a year later she gave birth to another daughter, Regina Johanna, but the little girl died at the age of 4 in Christiana Benedicta was born in January but only lived for 4 or 5 days, and Christiana Dorothea was born in March , but she died the following year at the age of 17 months.
