Bach digital - Generalbassregeln I / "Einige höchst nöthige Regeln vom General Basse" BWV 1133

Basso Coninuo Rules, Clavier-Büchlein for Anna Magdalena Bach, 1725

Date of origin, Work history: approx. 1740–1745 (earliest written source by J. C. F. Bach)
The basso continuo rules are passed down in the form of two fragmentary instructions. They were taken from an unidentified model.
Comment: Original sources are the last entries in the Clavier-Büchlein AMB 1725 (S. 123-126, see below). They consist of an erroneous, aborted transcription by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach (p. 123) with propaedeutic notes and the heading: Einige höchst nöthige Regeln vom General Basse. di J. S. B. and the extension by Anna Magdalena Bach (p. 124) with the header: Einige Reguln vom General Bass. (Faksimile, 1988)

Original sources: D-B Mus.ms. Bach P 225 [2. Notenbüchlein der A. M. Bach, 1725] [Score]
