Bach’s prelude to “Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt” is a small fugue on the first phrase of the melody. This phrase appears at least 7 times, though I think that Neumeister forgot two...

Johann Ludwig Krebs, Fuga c moll, KrebsWV 426
Manuscript Becker III.8.43. owned by the Sachsische Landes- und Universitatsbibliothek contains 4 fugues by Johann Ludwig Krebs. The scribe made lots of errors in his transcriptions. So it is a bit of a guess...

Johann Gottfried Walther, Wir Christenleut
The last piece in Kauffmann’s “Harmonische Seelenlust” is actually composed by Johann Gottfried Walther. Kauffmann died before he could complete the entire collection. That’s perhaps the reason why his wife included four works not...
