OrgelbĂĽchlein
The Orgelbüchlein ("Little Organ Book") was written by Johann Sebastian Bach during the period of 1708–1714, while he was in court organist at the ducal court in Weimar. It was planned as a set of 165 chorale preludes (smaller-scale compositions based on chorale melodies) spanning the liturgical year; however, Bach completed forty-six, with a forty-seventh sketched but not finished.
