18th-century Prints Of Bach's Four-part Chorales
In the period following Johann Sebastian Bach's death in 1750, apart from the publication of ''The Art of Fugue'' in the early 1750s, the only further publications prior to the 1790s were the settings of Bach's four-part chorales. In 1758 Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg was the first to start preparing a published edition of Bach's four-part chorales, but in 1763 was prevented by royal duties. C. P. E.
