Works
The organ works by Bruhns survive in the following sources:
- The Möller Manuscript, which contains the Preludium in E Minor, copied by Johann Christoph Bach[1] (as well as a fragment of the Preludium in G Major).
- The Schmahl Organ Tablatures (and a 19th-century copy of it), containing the Prelude in E Minor.
- A collection of four manuscripts which are all descendants of a fifth, B-Bc 26659 written by Johann Friedrich Agricola. Each manuscript contains the Preludium in G Major and a version of Nun komm der Heiden Heiland with more ornamentation inserted by Agricola.
- An ostensibly more original copy of Nun komm der Heiden Heiland is found in the Johann Gottfried Walther manuscript D-B Mus.ms. Bach P 802.
- D-B Mus.ms. 30381, including a Preludium in G Minor by Mons: Prunth.
- DK-Kk mu 7503.0234, which includes a fragment of another preludium.
