Meisterwerke der Musik im Faksimile, 6. Laaber,
2004. Oblong, 20 x 17 cm, xxix, 188 pp. New
full-color reproduction of the autograph. The Orgelbüchlein
represents 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 Ger-Eng,
with a table showing the chronology and development of the collection.
Hardbound, with
handsome boards in decorative blue paper. $224
