Presents in convenient form many of the findings of Bach scholarship on the genesis and transmission of the work * Early Music *
If it is reliable information on this remarkable work that you want, Dürr's study is the obvious place to start. Bach could have no more faithful servant * John Butt, Times Literary Supplement *
