Snippet: The New Yorker’s Alex Ross has become the second journalist — out of more than 50 who, according to Google News, have written about the story in the last week — to treat with even a modicum of skepticism Charles Darwin University musicologist Martin Jarvis’s theory that Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suites were written by his second wife Anna Magdalena Bach.
National Review Online broke the story Wednesday that Jarvis’s thesis is almost totally unsupported, slanderously speculative, and rejected by legitimate scholars of the 17th- and 18th-century musician. Ross followed up on Halloween with a report that contains some important new information (and a commendable New Yorker attention to the details of diacritical marks):

Interesting...
...Shakespeare's plays?
People in the music forum might care more about your post here.
so in that regard his post fits here better than most.
Jarvis should heed the "Good artists copy, great artists steal" (stolen from Picasso, or Stravinsky or Ellington...) for his pieces
- even if he isn't an artist.
It really isn't even a very good idea he had.
As for Shakespeare's plays? If he hasn't been successfully discredited for doing so by now why continue to beat that dead horse? Been what, 150 years or so that people have been trying to shoot down The Bard? Maybe they'll have it figured out in another 150 years. Lotta good that will do us after our time has passed on this mortal coil...
