View source for Johann Sebastian Bach's Buxtehude and Reincken Manuscripts

On August 31, 2006, the ''Klassik Stiftung Weimar'' and the [[Bach-Archiv Leipzig]] announced that two new manuscripts written by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] had been discovered by [[Michael Maul]] and [[Peter Wollny]] in the Weimar ''Herzogin-Anna-Amalia-Bibliothek''. The two manuscripts, written in [[New German Tablature Notation]] were a fragment of ''Nun freut euch, lieben Christen gmein'' by [[Dietrich Buxtehude]] and ''An Wasserflüssen Babylon'' by [[Johann Adam Reincken]].

Both manuscripts were located in the Weimar library since the early 19th century, but they had escaped attention by musicologists because they were listed under "theology". They were placed in a safe which survived a fire in 2004.

The discovery of these manuscripts was a ''world sensation''<ref>Beckmann: ''westsensation''</ref> not only because of the pieces they transmitted in more authentic tablature notation but because of the connection to Bach.
