This Musical Song Book contains some melodies newly composed by the honourable Mr. Johann Sebastian Bach, Electoral Saxon Kapellmeister and 'Director Chori Musici' in Leipzig, and some of which he improved the thorough bass; the melodies were printed at the beginning of every song. Others Gould have been included, but this would have made the book too expensive for some people. This new edition contains all the Chorales from Schemelli's song book in their original Order. Compared with the former Edition Breitkopf No. 730, which was a standard Performance edition for over one hundred years, this new edition has been printed in a larger format and type. This, as well as the addition of the first stanza of each Chorale in the musical text, makes the "Spiritual Songs and Arias" still easier to use. The two-part pieces with figured bass have been maintained in the original form, which allows the Performer to work out his own realization.
