The intention of the research project Bach-Repertorium at the Sächsische Akademie
der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, which is being prepared at the Bach-Archiv in
Leipzig, is to make available for study and performance the compositions of
all members of the widespread Bach family of musicians from the 17th until the
19th century. A vital feature of this undertaking is a series of catalogues
of works under the heading Bach-Repertorium. First, as a result of systematic
research covering all musical and archive sources, all compositoins attributed
to members of the Bach family have been categorized according to the same criteria.
Also covered are arrangements of works by other composesrs, editions with which
the composer was involved and - as far as it can be reconstructed - his music
library. The use of the volumes is faciliated by numerous indices. Each section
of a volume can be used on its own, but it is only in its entirety that the
Bach-Repertorium can reveal the unique phenomenon of the musical gifts of the
Bach family, to which there are no parallels.
Bach-Repertorium in 7 volumes:
In preperation:
- Volume 3: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
- Volume 5: Johann Christian Bach
- Volume 6: The Younger Bach Family
- Volume 7: Under Bach published works
