In this page, I will try to reproduce the texts of The New Bach Edition as faithfully as I can. You might ask me "Why? There is Bischof's fine site of Bach texts, or we can refer easily to Dürr's big volume or Rilling's booklets, both of which aren't from the NBA?". The fact is they differ from the NBA in many points — spelling, punctuation, capitalization or even word itself*. Of course I don't know which is right or why they are as it stand. I simply want to know what is in the NBA actually.
