Since this music book contains extensive autograph transcripts by Johann Sebastian Bach, and since you can go far into the 20th Century could not yet distinguish between the manuscripts of Anna Magdalena and Johann Sebastian, the entries of the two minuets, which appear as No. 4 and 5 of the music book without specifying the composer, were also considered to be Bach’s autographs. Therefore, Johann Sebastian Bach was generally regarded as her composer (BWV Ann. 114 and 115). It was not until 1979 that Hans-Joachim Schulze was able to prove the pieces in a Suite de Clavecin by Petzold.
