If not an even more striking novelty than the one before it, at the very least every piece makes you scratch your head as to how Bach could have yet come up with one more such wondrous a curiosity--Not merely as a complete conception, where each piece is concerned, but also in the case of almost every musical phrase after musical phrase throughout all the works in the assembly. And still there are pieces here which are beatiful beyond telling.

I am making these files available now (rather than later) because I have reached a point of diminishing returns in their editing. That is, theoretically the pieces can always come closer still to the way I think they ought to be interpreted --but not by so much that it justifies my spending all that much more effort on it. Although it was fun while it lasted, it's time to work on something else now.
