Description
German Organ and Keyboard Music from Bach’s Period
Collection of First Editions
This publication includes organ and keyboard works by composers from Bach’s time. For the first time, the original version of Bach’s famous Toccata in F major is published in an edition based on the sole source, manuscript Bach P 803 in the Berlin State Library.
The collection also includes a partita by Friedrich Erhard Niedt and a sonata by Johann Adolph Scheibe , published for the first time in a modern edition. This makes the edition the first to give an overview of keyboard music of Bach’s time primarily without pedals, a repertoire of which only a few pieces survive.
The critical edition is based closely on surviving sources and includes a Critical Commentary, List of Sources, numerous facsimiles and an extensive foreword with chapters on the techniques used in preparing the edition and performance practice.
– With extensive preface and critial commentary (German/English)
– Numerous facsimile pages
