Johann Sebastian Bach: Orgelchorale Der Eumeister-Sammlung : Organ Chorales from the Neumeister Collection (Yale University, Manuscript Lm 4708)

This edition contains 35 of the 38 chorale preludes for organ transmitted under the name of Johann Sebastian Bach in the manuscript LM 4708 of Yale University, New Haven, CT. The three works not included here (BWV 801,639,and 737) have already appeared in Series IV of the Neue Bach Ausgabe (NBA). Of the remaining compositions, BWV 719 and 742 had been provisionally excluded from the NBA as works of questionable authenticity. Two further compositions had been otherwise preserved only in versions that were clearly incomplete; one of them (BWV 714) was included in NBA IV/3 in this partial form, and the other (BWV (957) had not been recognized as an organ chorale. All other works in this manuscript were hitherto entirely unknown, as they exist in no other known source.
