Remarks In BWV Anh. 171 the chorale-incipit is written in harmonic minor instead of Dorian which is given in the sources which ascribe the work to J. Pachelbel. And so there are several harmonic differences between the two versions. In BWV Anh. 61 the differences to the sources which ascribe the work to J. Pachelbel are even larger.
