Why the Orgelbüchlein?
Bach originally composed this collection as an introduction for beginner organists. But the Orgelbüchlein is more than a teaching manual. It offers a unique perspective on improvisation and composition based on chorales and reveals the profound spirituality embedded in Bach’s music. In just 45 short chorales, Bach masterfully combines technique, inspiration, and deep emotion.
