Organ Music

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Música para órgano.

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 monumental 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 Bach's music. Unfortunately, it has always been a fantastically expensive publication, accessible only in the largest libraries.

This volume reprints in full, directly from the Bach-Gesellschaaft volumes, important organ music by the greatest composer for the organ.

This music has been reproduced in large, clear type, directly from the original editions, for maximum clarity. Designed as a playing edition, it will not be a necessary part of the library of every church organist, it will be a basic book in the library of every organist, keyboard performer, musicologist, student, and music lover.
