| The renowned Bach-Gesellschaft, founded in 1850 to collect, edit and publish all the known works of J. S. Bach, devoted fifty years to its monmnental task. It succeeded so well in tracking down Bach's heritage, establishing authenticity, and transcribing accurate texts that it still remains the primary source for Ba(h's music. Unfortunately, it has alwavs been a fantastically expensive publication, accessible only in the largest libraries. This volume reprints in full, directly from the Bach-Gesellschaft volumes, important organ music by the greatest composer for the organ. It contains the fh11 texts ot the Six Trio Sonatas; the St. Anne Prelude and Fugue in E-Flat Major: the Four I)uets and Seventeen Chorale Preludes (the "'German Organ Mass") from the Clavieriibung; the complete Orgelbiichlein; the Six Schiibler Choralcs; and the Eighteen Chorale Preludes. Appendices also reproduce in full two early variants from the Orgelbiichlein and fifteen from the Eighteen Chorale Preludes. |
