About Bach Printed Music Database

This database project is a new extension to my previous project, Bach Bibliography (1997-2012), which is now being maintained at the Library of Bach-Archiv Leipzig ever since.

The ultimate aim of the Bach Printed Music Database is to identify all the imprints of Bach’s works published during the long 19th century. It also includes associated information such as reviews and advertisements which help us to date various imprints.

For a fuller description of the project and its potential impact on scholarship, see my article ‘Veiled Aspects of Bach Reception in the long Nineteenth Century Exposed through a Macro-examination of Printed Music: with Particular Focus on The Well-Tempered Clavier’, Understanding Bach 7 (2012) 29-53.
