Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Johann Sebastian Bach composed Nun komm der Heiden Heiland for the organ in 1723, expanding it from a venerable Lutheran chorale into a magnificent example of an ornamented chorale prelude. Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein was originally a chorale written for Advent. The two chorales, originally written for organ, were transposed for solo piano by Busoni.      Beatrice Berrut
