About Organ Works Volume 1: Orgelbüchlein

Description='Orgelbüchlein / Six Chorales """"von verschiedener Art"""" (Schübler-Chorales) / Chorale-Partitas. Volume 1 of Bachs organ music presents some of the most frequently played organ pieces altogether. Here they appear in a new engraving based on the New Bach Edition (NBA). This updated edition takes into account the latest findings of Bach scholarship: thus, for example, a newly-discovered copy of the first edition containing inscriptions in Bachs own hand could be incorporated into the musical text of the Schübler Chorales. For the Orgel-Büchlein, Bachs autograph manuscript remains the principal source. Yet a glance at its early dissemination among his pupils reveals an abundance of readings that give interested organists insights into how perhaps Bachs most famous collection was played at that time. Unfortunately no autograph manuscripts survive regarding the early chorale partitas. However the Foreword helps to solve the riddle of how these partitas were handed down. Links to major sources have been provided in collaboration with the Bach Archive Leipzig and its Bach digital database. - Urtext of the New Bach Edition - Complete new engraving - New detailed Foreword by Christine Blanken (Ger/Eng) - Links to relevant sources in Bach digital - Volume 1 hardback BA5056 - The Complete Organ Works: The Definitive Edition Now in 11 paperback volumes in a slipcase BA 5279
