Remarks BWV 734a = version with pedal
The c.f. in BWV 734a (Zahn* No 4429a) does not correspond with the principal version, BWV 734, in the "Abgesang". As a result there are significant modifications in mm. 32b - 39 in the other parts. Up to m. 32 and from m. 40 on the versions are identical except for little differences.
BWV 761 was composed by Georg Böhm probably.
