The third and last of the three spurious chorale preludes to the Christmas choral “Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her” is a bicinium. The right hand plays the choral melody and the left...
The second of the three spurious chorale preludes to the Christmas choral “Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her” is the most virtuosic of the three. It feautures a concerto like accompaniment played by...
In the series of spurious works by (or not) Johann Sebastian Bach, I skip two compositions for now (BWV Anh. II 62a and 62b) to reach three choral preludes to the Christmas choral “Vom...
The Anhang II of Schmieder’s catalogue of Bach’s composition contains the spurious works. Number 61 of these is a chorale prelude on the melody of “O Mensch bewein dein Sünde groos”. The melody of...
The Anhang II of Schmieder’s catalogue of Bach’s composition contains the spurious works. According to the manuscript sources they were composed by Bach, but there is doubt the authorship is correctly indicated. In the...
The list of possible or spurious Bach works extends beyond the BWV-catalogue. Reinmar Emans made a list (around 1997) of chorale preludes that could possibly have been written by Johann Sebastian Bach. The list...

This piece is one of the many choral preludes of which the authorship of Johann Sebastian Bach is doubtfull. It did not get a BWV-number, but Emans listed it in his catalogue of doubtfull...
Yesterday I stumbled by accident on a recording of an organ trio in g minor, by Bach, I had never heard before, with the BWV number 584. I remember the excitement I felt in...
Bach’s authorship of this chorale prelude on “Jese meine Freude” is doubted. And probably rightly so. The use of sequences is a bit bland and not as refined as you might expect from Bach....
Bach’s authorship of the this choral prelude to “Da Jesus an dem Kreuze stund” is doubted. It doesn’t even appear in the annex (Anhang) to the BWV-catalogue of Bach’s works. It does however appear...
Since I started transcribing the works from BWV Anhang II (the list of works that are possibly composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, but the authorship of which is uncertain) I read a bit more...
This prelude on “Helft mir Gottes Güte preisen” has an interesting feauture. The accompaniment to the choral melody is not written with a specific range in mind (for example alto or tenor). Instead the...
This is the twin prelude to the one I posted two days ago. And then only because it has the same choral melody as subject and it’s possibly written by Bach. I don’t know...
