Two new Bach pieces just dropped! Here is their world premier! 🎶
The Chaconne and Fugue in D minor was preserved in only one source. The writer of this source was identified by Peter Wollny as Salomon Günther John, a student of Bach in Arnstadt. In 1727, Günther John stated in an application in Schleiz that he had received his training “from the former organist in Arnstadt” and had subsequently worked “in the Grand Ducal Chapel in Weimar”. John probably copied his teacher's early work during his time in Arnstadt as his student.
