Complete Organ Works Volume 8, Urtext

Edición de / Edited by: Zehnder, Jean-Claude

Urtext with surprising new readingsVolume 8 presents the important work group called the "Leipziger Choräle." Next to the late versions compiled an entered by Bach himself in the manuscript "P 271", all of the early versions with their sometimes widely divergent readings have also been edited here. The examination and evaluation of all relevant copies uncovered many a surprising new reading. Responsible for the new edition is the renowned organist and musicologist Jean-Claude Zehnder. An extensive introduction and highly commendable commentary round off this volume, too. They also can be downloaded here.Next to a reliable musical text, the highest importance was placed once again on performance-practical aspects, the results of which can be seen in the greater spaciousness for the notation and comfortable page turns. The new edition uses for the first time the modern forms of editorial technique with which among other things the synoptical depiction of various versions is made possible. More versions presented synoptically and for printing as well as a facsimile of an early copy of BWV 664 are provided online.
