Hello my lovely friend - yes, he's a revelation to me, too. Quite the contrapuntalist, like your good self!Originally Posted by musicalis
The first surviving copies were in Walther's hand. (And one by Johann Tobias Krebs.)
Mind you, the number of surving manuscripts in Bach's own hand are very small.
The Neue Bach Ausgabe and the most recent BWV catalogue both have put these three in the third part of the BWV Anhang: works wrongly attributed to J.S. Bach.
BWV 692, 693 and 748 have appeared in published collections of organ chorales by Johann Gottfried Walther since the beginning of the 20th century.

Marc,
THANKS !
Very usefull site, not only for what we discussing here, but for almost anyhting has to do with Grand Master's Cantatas/choral works and also for it gives info for a great number of composers and how anonymous' melodies have intergrated to the works.
Walther's short biography found there has all I needed to have a good start on the matter.
Best....

I read somewhere once a long time ago, that Bach's manuscripts were even found wrapped around saplings to keep them getting frost bite. Can't remembe where I read that or whether if was just folly.
