Volume 6 contains the chorale-related organ works that Bach personally had printed: the "Dritte Theil der Clavier bung" was published ("for organists") in 1739; the "Sechs Chorle von verschiedener Art" ("Schbler-Chorle") and the "Canonische Vernderungen" were released in separate editions most likely in 1747/48. None of these collections had from the start the appearance which the composer considered as valid in the end. For this reason, Werner Breig focuses in particular on questions of originin his introduction. Fundamental findings on the genesis of the "Clavie r bung III" were made only after the publication of the work in the "Neue Bach-Ausgabe." The basically unproblematic state of the sources meansthat this volume contains no CD-ROM with supplementary materials. It wa s, however, considered editorially necessary to print the "Canonische Vernderungen" BWV 769 in three versions: as a facsimile of the original print, in a practical arrangement, and in the autograph version (BWV 769a).
