Publication information

†Band I and III append an 'a' after the edition number: i.e. No.240a and No.242a.
††In his 1941 publication The Organ Works of Bach, Keller also classified Bach's organ works by difficulty; a copy of his classification can be found in Riemenschneider's editorial prefaces. Also, whether Keller edited Band VI is uncertain: there is no mention of his name in the volume.
