The discovery of new sources and a reassessmentof existing handwritten copies have brought about changes to the contents of the volume which now includes the Fantasia in C minor (BWV 1121) the Fantasia in G major (BWV 571) the Fugue in G major (BWV 577) and the C major version of the Toccata and Fugue in E major (BWV 566). On the other hand the Prelude in G major (BWV 568) as well as the alternative versions of the Fugue in C minor (BWV 574a) and the Prelude in A major (BWV 536a) have been discarded as presumably spurious.Besides the new compilation and corrections of the musical text the volume also contains a detailed Foreword by Peter Wollny with observations on each work and the extant sources.
