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[1] not only because of the pieces they transmitted in more authentic tablature notation but because of the connection to Bach.
