J S Bach Organ Chorales from the Rudorff Collection

During the Bach tricentennial celebrations in 1985, not only were the Neumeister Collection at Yale University (New Haven, USA) and the Rinck Collection presented to the public, but attention was also given to a previously little-known manuscript from the Rudorff Collection, preserved in the Music Library of the City of Leipzig.

The present first performing edition included the entire contents of the manuscript, that is, the seven chorales from the corpus of autograph manuscripts assembled in Leipzig by the music teacher and composer Ernst Friedrich Karl Rudorff.

In their compositional texture and style these chorale settings are comparable to the Neumeister Chorales and shed valuable light on the composer’s early artistic development.  A must for connoisseurs and amateurs of Bach’s organ music.
