315 An eight-part Mass in G was performed at a Leipzig Gewandhaus Concert on March 7, 1805, and was published later in the year by Breitkopf and Haertel. The score is admittedly, for the greater part of the work, in Bach’s hand and is in the Berlin Royal Library. The publication of the work was under consideration by the Bachgesellschaft in 1858. That it is not by Bach is generally held. It has been attributed to Johann Ludwig Bach (d. 1741). See Genealogical Table II. 316 The _St. Matthew Passion._ 317 A nom de plume for Christian Friedrich Henrici (1700-64), who wrote a large number of Bach’s Leipzig texts. 318 Perhaps Forkel indicates the short _Sanctus_ in Richter’s edition of the _Choralgesänge_, No. 123, or that in B.G. XLI. p. 177. 319 This is the first Chorus of Cantata No. 38. It is printed as a separate Motet in Erk, No. 150. 320 Forkel’s list is complete except for _Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden._ 321 The opening Chorus of Cantata 144. 322 Forkel refers to the _Peasant Cantata,_ or _Mer hahn en neue Oberkeet,_ performed on August 30, 1742. Forkel clearly was not familiar with Bach’s other secular Cantatas. See B.G. XI. (ii.), XX. (ii.), XXIX. The Autograph score of the Peasant Cantata is in the Berlin Royal Library. 323 Forkel’s suggestion was carried out, with varying thoroughness, in the Bachgesellschaft edition. 324 Forkel’s judgment is at fault. See Schweitzer, i. 336. 325 Also in Wilhelm Friedemann’s _Clavierbüchlein._ See Schweitzer, i. 279; Spitta, ii. 166. 326 “Since you cannot please everybody by your actions and work, strive at least to satisfy a few; popular appreciation encourages bad art.”—Schiller’s _ Votiftafeln_ 327 The Cantatas are classified under Appendix II. 328 The references are to Peters’ edition. Excepting bk. 1959, which contains pieces of doubtful authenticity, every number printed by Peters is entered in the Chronological Catalogue. 329 There are three other Sonatas, in A minor, C major, D minor, none of which is an original composition. They are printed in P. bk. 213. The first and second are adaptations of material in Reinken’s _Hortus Musicus._ The third is a transcription of the second Solo Sonata for Violin.
