JOHANN SEBASTIAN
BACH
ORGAN MUSIC
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-Gesellschaft volumes, important organ music by the greatest
composer for the organ. It-contains the full texts of the Six Trio Sonatas; the St. Anne Prelude and Fugue in
E-Flat Major; the Four Duets and Seventeen Chorale Preludes (the "German Organ Mass") from the Clavierübung;
the complete Orgelbüchlein; the Six Schübler Chorales; and the Eighteen Chorale Preludes. Appendices also
reproduce in full two early variants from the Orgelbüchlein and fifteen from the Eighteen Chorale Preludes.
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 only 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.
Unabridged reprinting of sections from the Bach-Gesellschaft Orgelwerke, volumes 15 and 25.2, and Clavierwerke,
volume 3. v + 360pp. 8 1/8 x 11. Paperbound.

it will not discolor or become brittle with age. Pages are sewn in signatures, in the Method traditionally
used for the best books, and will not drop out, as often happens with paperbacks held together with glue.
