Volume 4: Christian Life and Conduct-The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach’s unfinished manuscript known as ‘Orgelbüchlein’. In the ‘Little Organ Book’ Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale 164 in all but only completed 46 of them. Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages with only a title at the head remains a mystery but they inspired organists William Whitehead to found the Orgelbüchlein Project in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection. The resulting collection to be published in eight volumes represents a cross-section of the most interesting composers at work today acrossEurope.

The names of the composers included here read like a “Who is Who” of the heyday of Bohemian musicians and composers from the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. They include F. Benda J. Stamitz J. L. Dussek and J. B. Vanhal in their time names that were known throughout Europe and who predominantly worked at noteworthy courts in different countries. Today their music is largely overshadowed by that of Haydn Mozart and Beethoven. Yet the Bohemians particularly excelled as far as the violin sonata was concerned. Our two volume edition will provide the curious (and indeed already quite advanced) violinist with a colourful bouquet of worthwhile discoveries.The names of the composers included here read like a “Who is Who” of the heyday of Bohemian musicians and composers from the 18th and beginning of the 19th century.
