Toccatas BWV 910-916-Relativement précoces les toccatas de Bach datent probablement des années 1707?1713 et représentent si l?on peut dire sa période «Sturm und Drang». Elles ne furent pas conçues comme un cycle mais indépendamment et à des époques variées chacune sous un numéro d?opus différent. Conformément au genre de la toccata elles se distinguent par leur caractère virtuose et la présence d?éléments d?improvisation parfois aussi de récitatifs sans pour autant être dépourvues de la solide technique polyphonique de la plénitude harmonique et de la ri-chesse d?invention inépuisable de Bach.

En dehors des grands cycles (partitas suites anglaises et françaises) toute une série d?autres suites pour clavier de Bach sont parvenues à la postérité ainsi que des sonates ou des mouve-ments de sonates isolés des variations et des morceaux désignés par le terme de capriccio. Aucun d?eux n?a atteint la notoriété des grands recueils cités plus haut. La plupart datent des années de jeunesse et de formation de Bach c?est-à-dire entre 1700 et 1710 et ne témoignent pas encore de la maîtrise ultérieure mais offrent cependant un immense plaisir de jeu. Deux morceaux sont des adaptations pour clavier des sonates pour violon en la mineur et Ut majeur de Bach. Ces adaptations ne sontpas de la main du compositeur mais peut-être de celle de son fils Wilhelm Friedemann. Elles doivent leur présence dans ce volume de l?édition Urtext à leur notoriété et à leur caractère gratifiant.

Nr. VI F major BWV 1057-In early 1729 Bach became director of the so-called »Scottish Collegium Musician« a music organization of students and local citizens. The remarkable results of this undertaking are the concertos for harpsichord. Today it is almost certain that practically all of these concertos were transcribed from concertos for melody instruments (mostly violin or oboe).The Concerto in F major BWV 1052 is the sixth of the harpsichord concertos contained in the autograph score that Bach wrote out in or around 1738 (Berlin Staatsbibliothek Mus. ms. Bach P 234). The initials at the end of the piece SDGl ('Soli Deo Gloria') form a pendant to the J.J. ('Jesus Juva') found at theopening of the D-minor Concerto BWV 1052. This indicates that BVW 1057 formed the final piece in this six-work opus the only authentic and self-contained collection of concertos we have from Bach apart from his presentation copy of the Brandenburg Concertos (1721). Like all the other concertos in this series BWV 1057 is an arrangement of an earlier work in this case the Fourth Brandenburg Concerto in G major (BWV 1049).Urtext of the New Bach EditionFull score & parts (BA5229) two-keyboard reduction (BA5229-90) and study score (TP410) format 22.5 x 16.5cm (all 6 concertos) available for sale

Cembalo Orgel - Flute Violine - Bc-Score with 3 parts (Flute/Oboe/Violin; Basso Continuo with figures (Cello/Bass); Basso Continuo realised with figures (Harpsichord/Organ)Musical text with arrangements by two Handel contemporaries as well as the editor’s own arrangement for Harpsichord or Organ.All editorial additions are clearly marked.Equally effective when performed note-for-note on the Organ.As early as 1743 while Handel was still alive Francesco Geminiani produced an arrangement of the Water Music for Keyboard instruments thereby making it possible to perform this popular work in domestic surroundings. Then presumably in 1749 an unknown musician arranged theMusic for the Royal Fireworks for transverse Flute or Violin and Harpsichord. In addition to these two contemporary versions this edition also contains an arrangement by the editor for Harpsichord or Organ based on the first edition. Though both early sources explicitly mention a Harpsichord the arrangements can also be performed effectively note-for-note on the Organ. As the surviving anonymous version merely places a solo part and a figured Bass on a two-stave system our edition is accompanied by performance material with one part each for transverse Flute/Oboe/Violin and Violoncello/Double Bass plus a figured Bass realisation.
