Musicologica, II/11. Kassel, 4/ 1999.
Oblong, 20 x 17 cm, xxviii, 184 pp. 2-color
collotype reproduction of the autograph manuscript. The most important
and comprehensive
chorale collection in the organ repertory. Codicologically the
manuscript—a torso—tells us a
lot about the developmental process of the collection and suggests that
Bach had been
compiling the Orgelbüchlein over several years. Although an
anthology of 164 chorale
arrangements was intended, only about one third that amount was
actually copied. Nearly all
of these originate from the Weimar period (1708-1717). Introduction in
German, with index.
Hardbound. $79 (view
