Whoever reveres the name Bach will no doubt be interested in Johann Bernhard. Though there are few surviving works by J. B. Bach, who was a church musician and court harpsichordist active in Erfurt and Eisenach, they are sometimes intimately connected to Johann Sebastian Bach, who copied the orchestral works of his second cousin for study purposes. Johann Bernhard’s chaconnes are typical of his time and were even attributed to his celebrated cousin in at least one major source. Die Chorale sind nach den Melodien alphabetisch geordnet.
The chorales are listed alphabetically after the melody. The obbligato instruments were transposed whenever necessary and consolidated on two staves to facilitate reading.

In den Bach-Arien sind mithin die teilweise anspruchsvollsten Solostellen verborgen die im 18. Jahrhundert fur diese Instrumente.
