Main article: Clavier-Übung III § Chorale preludes BWV 669–689
24 chorale preludes, formerly known as "from the Kirnberger collection" (BWV 690–713)[edit]
The 24 chorale preludes and five variants published as "from the Kirnberger Collection" ("in Kirnberger's Sammlung") in the 40th volume of the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe (1893) were all retained in the 690–713a range of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis. Johann Kirnberger's involvement with this collection of chorale preludes, some of which are spurious or doubtful, is however uncertain: modern scholarship no longer refers to this set as "Kirnberger Collection" (unless with qualifiers such as "so-called" or "formerly").[20]
