I am
presently collecting the
fugues of Bach - not only
of sebastian, but also of
Emanuel and friedeman,
wrote Mozart to his
father in April 1782.
This could be a hint that
the Six Three-Part
Preludes and Fugues were
derived from this
collection: Mozart wrote
string-trio arrangements
of two preludes and five
fugues by Johann
Sebastian Bach, and of
one fugue by Wilhelm
Friedemann Bach. This
apparently plunged him
into such a creative mood
that he simply wrote the
missing preludes himself.
It is to Johann Nepomuk
David that we owe the
first edition of this
work, which introduced
this unique document to a
broad public for the
first time. The present
edition has retained
David's basic editorial
decision to adapt the
divergent passages of
Mozart's arrangement to
Bach's original music
