Andreas Bach Book

---

The Andreas Bach Book is an important collection of 18th century European organ and harpsichord music compiled around 1708, named after Andreas Bach, who was one of the owners of the collection, as well as the nephew of Johann Sebastian Bach. The main scribe of the anthology was Johann Christoph Bach, Johann Sebastian's elder brother and father of Andreas. Along with the Möller Manuscript, the Andreas Bach Book is the earliest major source of the works of J.S. Bach; it contains the earliest known copies of the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582 and Fugue in G minor, BWV 578.

Content

The copyists of the book include Johann Christoph Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Lorenz Bach, Carl Ferdinand Becker, and various unknown scribes. Styles present in the manuscript range from Sonatas, Overtures, Capriccios, Ballets, Partitas, Arias, and Suites, to free Toccatas, Preludes, and Fantasias, to imitative Fugues, Chaconnes, and Passacaglias. Between the 64 keyboard compositions, the various composers included in the manuscript are J.S. Bach, Georg Böhm, Johann Pachelbel, Dietrich Buxtehude, Johann Kuhnau, Georg Philipp Telemann, Carlo Francesco Pollarolo, Gottfried Ernst Pestel, Johann Adam Reincken, Christian Friedrich Witt, Christian Ritter, Marin Marais, Louis Marchand, Johann Heinrich Buttstett, Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer, Johann Georg Küchenthal, and anonymous composers.
