After more than a half century of research, the authoritative edition of Bach's music--the Neue Bach-Ausgabe (New Bach Edition)--is at last complete. The final volume was symbolically presented to the public on June 13 at St. Thomas Church, Leipzig during its Bach Festival. Those of you who have ever been involved with the world of musicology realize what a monumentalaccomplishment this is. </P>
The completeset consists of more than 100 volumes, nine of which comprise the organ works. You can reada press release from the publisher,Barenreiter, detailing the history of this project at: </P>
