Cantata for the 1st Sunday after Trinity (composed for June 11 1724)-O Ewigkeit du Donnerwort BWV 20Cantata for the 1st Sunday after Trinity composed for June 11 1724Johann Sebastian Bach opened the second year of his Leipzig church compositions on 11 June 1724 with a performance of the cantata ?O Ewigkeit du Donnerwort?.The work is based on a church hymn by Johann Rist that depicts in riveting language the terrors of the Last Judgment and the torments of Hell followed by an admonition to live a life pleasing to God. The poem inspired Bach to write one of his most impressive church compositions altogether.This remarkably extensive score with twelve sheets sheds particularly instructiveand detailed light on Bach's creative process.

4 Concertos 2 Trios et Pièces Diverses-As one of the most famous contributors to classical music ever to have lived Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685-1750) catalogue is extensive. Moreover being an organist himself his Organ works are significant and remain ever-popular to this day. When French organist Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) compiled the series of Bach's Complete Organ Works it was well-received and to this day remains popular with all organists. The fourth volume includes a favoured selection of Bach's four concertos two trios and his Diverse Pieces. In addition Dupré's annotations in CompleteOrgan Works comprise fingerings rules on technique and instructions on ornamentation among other aspects. This compilation of J. S. Bach's most loved compositions for the Organ cannot be missed by aspiring performers of the instrument.

This volume collects four of the most important keyboard masterpieces by Johann Sebastian Bach?the 'Goldberg' Variations Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue Fantasia Contrappuntistica and Concerto for Piano andOrchestra in D Minor?in arrangements by celebrated pianist and composer Ferruccio Busoni for his 1919 Breitkopf & Härtel edition. Additional features include Busoni's original systemof keyboard notation demonstrated vis- -vis the Chromatic Fantasy. An important composer in his own right Busoni ranks among history's most celebrated pianists. His controversial 25-volume edition oftranscriptions of Bach's keyboard music includes side-by-side discussions of Bach's music with arrangements by Busoni and his pupil Egon Petri. Adapted for the modern resources of the grand piano thetranscriptions include plentiful doublings of voices for higher and lower ranges of the keyboard that did not exist on Bach's clavier in addition to analytical re-shapings of the music itself. This volume marks asignificant collection of rarities that merit greater attention among performers and listeners. Dover Original.

From early in the 17th century until the form engaged the interest of Johann Sebastian Bach various notable German composers - including Rosenmüller Fischer Fasch and Telemann - had contributed to the development of the orchestral suite or 'Ouverture' whose name betrays its French theatrical origins. From Bach himself only four such suites have survived thanks to the diligence of C.F.Penzel a student at the Thomasschule from 1751 who made copies of Bach's MSS which he found there. Thus neither the dates nor the order of composition of the suites can be established with any certainty. As to the present suite in D major recent criticism suggests that it mayoriginally have been written for strings only and dates in its final form from around 1731. Penzel's copy of the suite includes significant variants to be played by a solo violin (marked Violino Concertato) which are included here in the Appendices.The score is newly-edited from the extant sources consisting of sets of parts (some in Bach's autograph) and copyist's scores are preserved in the Staastbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbestitz Musikabteilung mit Mendelssohn-Archiv. This edition replaces the former Eulenburg miniature score edited by Wilhelm Altmann.

Learn from the master. Johann Sebastian Bach composed countless pieces specifically for his many students. My First Bach contains many of these educational pieces which are, for the most part, arranged in increasing difficulty. Easy two-part chorales and dances are followed by more demanding little preludes, two-part inventions and the first Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. / Piano

Cantata for the 4th Sunday of Advent-The cantata Bereitet die Wege is one of the few works by Johann Sebastian Bach of which we know fairly well how it came into being. The autograph full score bears the date 1715; Bach therefore composed the piece for the church service given by the Weimar court orchestra (of which he was the concert master) on 22 December the fourth Sunday in Advent in the year 1715. We even know the author of the words: it was the High Ecclesiastical Secretary in Weimar Salomon Franck who wrote the poem especially for that occasion and had it printed in his annual cycle of cantata texts entitled Evangelisches Andachtsopfer.
