Hi, Sterling!
You were asking about the Buxtehude Suite in E minor (BuxWV 236) recorded by Walter Gerwig around 1954. In his recordings he invariably used modern printed editions in pitch notation. In this case most likely Bo Lundgren's edition (see below). There is confusion because Gerwig transposed the suite from E minor to C minor, and does not provide the BuxWV number. The various scores, tablatures, etc., are listed below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ The Pachelbel Suite in F sharp minor provides additional confusion. One might even suggest a scam by an unscrupulous antiquarian dealer, who represented the manuscript as an autograph of Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), copied in Nurnberg (where he worked from 1695 until his death)--hence the "Autogr" shelf number. The dealer's statement in writing appears with the manuscripts. I examined the manuscriprt in person some years ago. The bifolio gatherings had the remains of glue used by the bookbinder to attach the paper to the spine. That is, the pages had been gathered from a disbound volume, to make many easily sold inexpensive fascicles. To be precise from the disbound manuscripts from the Harrach palace in Rohrau, mostly now in the New York Public Library (JOG 72-29). Some of those also have remainders of binder's glue on the fold. Those separated gatherings include pieces by the same copyist, as Marcus Lutz has pointed out. Bob Spencer also owned some separated gatherings from the Harrach manuscript. And others await discovery. That manuscript dates from the mid-eighteenth century, suggesting the composer of Ms autogr 2353b&a is more likely Johann's son, Wilhelm Hieronymus Pachelbel (1686-1764). Probably not the other son, Charles Theodore Pachelbel (1690-1750), who resided in Boston before settling in South Carolina.<g> [sorry for the plug.] =========================== Citations: Buxtehude, Dietrich, 1637-1707.
