Two works on ''Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland'' are found in the [[Johann Gottfried Walther|Walther]] manuscripts [[D-B Mus.ms. 22541/1]] and [[D-B Mus.ms. 22541/2|/2]] with composer "A. K." and "A. Kniller". These are also found in a 8-variation cycle in [[D-B Mus.ms. 30439/1]] also marked "A. Kniller". After style-critical analysis, this eight-variation set was connected with the composer '''Andreas Kneller'''. This remains the only composition from this composer which has survived.

The Preludium in G Major was published by Beckmann in 1987 based on excerpts from D-B Mus.ms. 30439/4 f.7v-8r, f.10r, f.11r, f.11v, and D-B Mus.ms. 30439/5. In 2013, he published a completion of this fragmentary prelude by Wolfgang Stockmeier.

In 1907, the two variations in the Walther manuscripts were published by Karl Straube where he interpreted "A. Kniller", as Anton Kniller, a name which can not be found anywhere in the history of North-German organ music.
