ONE of the greatest composers of all time may not have been responsible for some of his most famous works, with an Australian academic claiming his wife wrote them.
Martin Jarvis, professor of music at Charles Darwin University, has analysed handwriting on works attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach.
Prof Jarvis believes that dozens of these works were written by Anna Magdalena, the composer's second wife, the Sunday Telegraph reported.

Ms Magdalena, a singer, was just 19 when she wed the ageing composer. Although it was previously known that she transcribed for her husband as his health got worse, experts said that scribbles and corrections in the handwriting suggest that it was someone composing as they went along rather than transcribing.
The works Prof Jarvis has attributed to Mrs Bach include the aria in Bach's famous Goldberg variations as well as the Cello Suites.

Prof Jarvis' research is showcased in a documentary called Written by Mrs Bach presented by British composer Sally Beamish.
Ms Beamish said the research could "transform" the confidence of female composers by challenging the view that the greatest compositions have always been written by men.
