Bh2000 Bach Cantatas

Post by vinteuil »

I would love to upolad these (and if anyone else would too...) but the only information I can find is that they are the "Breitkopf and hartel PIano Reduction" (i.e. vocal scores) Could someone tell me exactly what edition this is? Then we could add these valuable scores to IMSLP

The whole series was issued by Breitkopf and Peters jointly in the late 19th century. Most were arranged by Bernhard Todt (d.1907) and are public domain worldwide. Some of the Breitkopf vocal scores (updated editions issued later) were arranged by Gunter Raphael (d.1960) - which are not OK to post. I think all of the bh2000 files are scans of the older Todt arrangements but don't know for absolute sure - so check on First Search to match page-counts. CDSM - who I expect is the original source of the bh2000 scans - makes sure that whatever they scan is free in the USA.

I went ahead and started uploading these without dates...and with question marks.
Anyone have any other clues?

I now compared my file from bh2000 with carolus's BWV91 - they match, and I have changed all of the information accordingly.
Let's finish another project!
