A separate Preface to the reprinted Suites is by Ernst Naumann. It is dated 1895.
Perhaps an arrangement of an orchestral piece. See Schweitzer, i. 342 n.
The Appendix to the volume contains addenda to the Violin Concerto in A minor (see B.G. XXL. (1)) and Cantata 188 (see B.G. XXXVII.). Also the Zurich and London texts of the “Welltempered Clavier” (B.G. XIV.), with critical notes.
The Preface is dated 1899. The volume was issued in 1900.
The original words are “Die Schätzbarkeit der weiten Erden.”
The title-page is dated 1913 and the Preface “Im Advent auf 1914.”
The Aria is no. 20 of A. M. Bach's “Notenbuch” for 1725. See E.G. XLII. (2) no. 20.
