| Ajoutée par giordaniello, 14 Janv 2023 Even more difficult problems are posed by early work, BWV 566, which, like BWV 549, was probably composed by the time of Bach's arrival at Weimar in 1708. The numerous questions raised by this work can only be touched upon here. BWV 566 exists in versions in C major and E major. Although Bach probably drafted it in E, the E major version survives only in late, unreliable sources. Whether Bach himself carried out the adaptation in C major has been questioned, but the sources provide no basis for doubting its authenticity. Numerous variant readings in both versions, however, indicate that the text underwent frequent emendation, sometimes by copy¬ists, leaving the composer's intentions uncertain at many points. The edition presents the C major version first, as it probably contains a number of Bach's later readings; a reconstruction of the version in E follows. The earliest printed edition of BWV 566, in E major, appeared in 1867 in volume 15 of the old Bach Gesamtausgabe under the title "Toccata III." Neither version is des¬ignated a toccata in any of the sources used for the present edition. But the varying headings in the sources indicate some uncertainty as to the proper title of the work, which comprises four alternating preludial and fugal sections. The present edition adopts the title Pradudium, by analogy to similar works by Dieterich Buxtehude. The work was probably composed in E for an instrument that had either pedal c#' or C# but not both. This instrument perhaps also lacked manual c3, for the highest note in the E major version is b2. The C major version was likely an adaptation to permit performance on an instrument lacking pedal c#' (as well as C#), while avoiding problems of temperament created by the use of E major. The adaptation produced a work with an unusually low tessitura, never rising above g2 (compare BWV 531 in the same key, which uses all notes up to c3). Nevertheless, the transmission of the C major version through two associates of Bach strongly implies that this version, like BWV 549 (in C minor), was at least sanctioned by the composer. That Bach himself was the arranger is likely in view of the fact that the C major version was copied independently by his Weimar pupil Krebs and later by his friend Kellner. (Source: J.S.Bach Samtl.
