Recently Rediscovered Sources of Music of the Bach Family in the Breitkopf Archive
View through CrossRef
This chapter treats newly discovered Bach manuscripts found in the archive of the Leipzig firm Breitkopf & Härtel, which was the most influential music publisher in eighteenth century Europe. Highlights include J. S. Bach’s autograph entries in early Weimar keyboard sources (Toccatas BWV 913/914); sources copied during J. S. Bach’s Leipzig period; and important new sources of instrumental works by three Bach sons. The manuscripts not only illustrate the performance repertoire of Leipzig music societies, such as the Gewandhaus concerts, during the mid-eighteenth century and after Sebastian Bach’s death, but also document the Breitkopf firm’s music distribution activities.
