These anonymous compositions contained in the manuscript with the designation “KN 209”, owned bij the Ratsbücherei, Lüneburg, are largely unedited. And that is a shame, because even though anonymous it is fine music and...

Besides the works attributed to a composer, the Leipziger manuscript with signature Becker II.2.51 preserves two preludes and fugues and two fugues without a named composer. The fugues share strong similarities with the three...

The Frankenberg manuscript does not attribute a composer to this chorale prelude. It is tempting to attribute this piece to Johann Heinrich Buttstett. Not only because of the general idea of the piece (choral...

Another piece Walther left without composer in his manuscripts. Walther writes “Hautbois” where the choral melody enters. Writing music for the combination of organ and oboe seems to be an invention of Kauffmann. Yet...
The manuscripts of Johann Gottfried Walther are a valuable source for compositions of his contemporaries. His transcriptions are very precise and on the whole he meticulously writes down the composer of the pieces. But...
