- Title
Recataloguing Bach.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article discusses the third edition of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV), a catalogue of Johann Sebastian Bach's works. The revisions made in this edition include the reallocation of entries, the introduction of a new system to indicate different versions of the same work, and the abandonment of the a-b-c suffix system. The catalogue also includes new features such as a systematic overview, a table of concordances, and comprehensive lists of historical printed texts. The article acknowledges some oversights and suggests improvements for future revisions, but overall, the third edition is seen as a valuable reference work for Bach scholars and enthusiasts.
