lute-harpsichord


the piece s exact year of creation subject of extensive speculation. oxford dictionary of music cites prelude s similarity well-tempered clavier (most notably, sixteenth-note broken chord patterns anchored pedal tone ), stating, c minor bwv999 shows affinity ‘48’, , may belong cöthen or leipzig period . however, indirect sources, such imslp , classical music archives, place origin @ 1725 , 1720, respectively. these estimates conflict more direct motival parallels between bwv 999 , prelude , fugue in c major, bwv 846, bach penned in 1722. bach left weimar become kapellmeister @ cöthen in 1717, , departed cöthen take position cantor , music director in leipzig in 1723, uncertainty of dates (wherein piece composed between 1717 , 1723) can place in 1 of 3 locations within bach s compositional timeline. initially, analysts unsure whether prelude composed bach, since original source discovered copy 1 of bach s pupils, johann peter kellner (1705–1772). analysis contained within neemann’s j. s. bach lautenkompositionen (1931) later confirmed authorship.
