This publication includes organ and keyboard works by composers from Bach’s time. For the  first time, the original version of Bach’s famous Toccata in F major is published in an edition based on the sole source, manuscript Bach P 803 in the Berlin State Library.<br>
<br>
The collection also includes a partita by Friedrich Erhard Niedt and a sonata by Johann Adolph  Scheibe , published for the first time in a modern edition. This makes the edition the first to give an overview  of keyboard music of Bach’s time primarily without pedals, a repertoire of  which only a few pieces  survive. The critical edition is based closely on surviving sources and  includes a Critical  Commentary, List of Sources, numerous facsimiles and an extensive foreword with  chapters  on the techniques used in preparing the edition and performance practice.<br>
