Corrections Archive
October 1, 2007
Today marks the first upload of the revision based on the Barenreiter NBA study score edition. This edition presents the cantatas in the order of the church calendar, therefore, the chorales from the cantatas will be uploaded on that basis. So Advent begins the calendar and has three four part chorales associated with it. I have begun a new page, for this 'definitive' revision (hopefully), and am keeping the old corrections page as this archive.

Thanks to Georgios Fitsioris, BWV 14.5 is correct. The variation 14.5v which is Riemenschneider 182 and Barenreiter 182 has a repeat which creates a parallel 5th between the bass and the alto at the point where the repeat returns to the beginning. The Musica Budapest and the Kalmus editions are the same as the chorale in the cantata, which does not have an exact repeat and therefore no parallel 5th. I am not sure why Barenreiter chose to publish this form of the chorale when it is supposed to be the accurate New Bach Work edition.
Sets are updated with corrected files.

Thanks to Darrell Conklin and Georgios Fitsioris, BWV 3.6 is correct. However, the variation 3.6v which is Riemenschneider 308 has been deleted from the sets and lists because the (unauthorized?) variation in the tenor creates a parallel 5th with the soprano.
