The Musical Offering BWV 1079, is a collection of contrapuntal pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, based on a single musical theme by Frederick the Great. The particular occasion for this version by Helmut Bornefeld (1906–1990) for organ, violin and flute was the imminent dedication of the Schorndorf choir organ in 1975. Bornefeld's desire was to make this magnificent late work of Bach available in a practical version for small forces to the largest possible number of performers and listeners.

Reviews
Peter Thalheimer, Sabine Kraut und Hannelore Hinderer beweisen am Ort der Uraufführung, dass Bornefelds Bach fast 40 Jahre später selbst schon historische Qualität hat.
