Bach-Repertorium
The intention of the research project Bach-Repertorium
at the Sächsische Akademie der Wissenschaften
zu Leipzig, which is being completed 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 musi cians from the
17th until the 19th century. A vital feature of this undertaking
is a series of catalogs of works under the
heading Bach-Repertorium. For the first time, as a
result of systematic research cov ering all musical and
archive sourc es, all compositions attributed to members
of the Bach family will be categorized according
to the same criteria. In addition to details of scor ing,
succession of movements, history of the works and
sources, information is given concerning editions,
authentication, and the most important literary ref -
erences are documented. In the case of vocal works
the origins of the texts, editions of the librettos, and
the chorale melodies used are verified. Also covered
are arrangements of works by other composers, editions
with which the composer was in volved and – as
far as it can be reconstructed – his music library. An
appendix includes arrangements by oth ers and spurious
works are also described. The accompanying
music examples document in short score the beginning
of each movement and of structurally important
sections of the compositions, thus providing for
an initial insight into the works. The use of the vol -

umes is facilitated by numerous in dices. Each vol ume
in the series is self-contained, but it is only in its entirety
that the Bach-Repertorium reveals the unique
phenom enon of the musical gifts of the Bach family,
for which there are no parallels.
