Remarks he version BWV 536a / Anh. II 45 probably does not go back to J. S. Bach. Prelude and fugue in A minor were handed down by Scholz two times in this version and the fugue alone two times more (D Gb Ms. Scholz 4.6.1, D Gb Ms. Scholz 4.6.2 and D Gb Ms. Scholz 4.6.3.
What is standing under the affixed leaf could not be identified until now.
