Who's behind the notes? Discover Johann Sebastian Bach: Master of Baroque Music
Composed for organ during Bach's tenure in Mühlhausen, this chorale fantasia showcases intricate counterpoint and chromaticism. Based on Justus Jonas' 1524 hymn, it features an ornamented melody with echo effects and a stylus phantasticus coda. The manuscript was lost for decades, rediscovered in 2008, and authenticated as BWV 1128 after centuries in private collections.
