"All the accumulated evidence indicates beyond doubt that he was one of the greatest and most productive composers of his time and that he left a musical legacy whose value increases with the ages." — Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians. The unaffected, exquisitely concise grace manifested in the works of Johann Pachelbel (1653–1706) earned the composer a considerable reputation in his lifetime and has endured through nearly three centuries. His profound effect on the history of music is most notable in the enormous popularity of his Canon in D Major as well as the intense respect shown by students, scholars, and keyboard artists studying the composer's incredible legacy of keyboard masterworks. Among the finest, most performed, and most studied of Pachelbel's works are the 95 short, preludial fugues on the Magnificat. Written during Pachelbel's final appointment as organist of St. Sebald, Nuremberg (his native city), they constitute a magnificent culmination to a prolific career. Collected in one convenient volume, these are among the most expressive pieces ever composed for organ or keyboard. Pachelbel's masterful understanding of harmony and counterpoint blend perfectly with a pure and constant spirit of reverence. Today's keyboard artist should note that many of these works do not require a pedal and can be played on the piano or harpsichord as well as the organ. Ideal for reading, study, and performance, with large noteheads, wide margins, and clear reproductions, this modestly priced playing edition of nearly 100 fugues is an essential addition to the libraries of every serious keyboard artist, student, and scholar.

A native of Nuremberg, Johann Pachelbel (1653–1706) was one of the great organ masters of the generation before J. S. Bach. Since the 17th century, interest in his music has remained constant and today he is widely considered one of the greatest and most productive composers of his time. Remarkably prolific, Pachelbel composed in a variety of musical genres in a lucid, uncomplicated style. This collection assembles a rich selection of the composer's organ works, including 72 chorale settings composed for the Lutheran ritual, and 48 nonliturgical works, among them toccatas, fugues, preludes, ricercares, and fantasias. Reprinted here from the authoritative Breitkopf and Härtel edition, edited by Max Seiffert, these time-honored compositions will be welcomed by organists at every level of accomplishment. Today's keyboard artist should note that many of these works do not require a pedal and can be played on the piano or harpsichord as well as the organ.

Johann Pachelbel's beloved Canon, the first movement of the Canon and Gigue in D major, was completely unknown until its publication in a 1918 article in the German periodical Archiv für Musikwissenschaft. The first complete score and parts, edited by Max Seiffert, appeared 11 years later. Though receiving some attention, the work only rocketed to fame in the 1970s in the wake of a recording made by the French conductor Jean-François Paillard. In recent years, Seiffert's edition has come under fire due to his his fairly liberal addition of tempi and dynamics. The problem of making a definitive score is made very challenging because the composer's manuscript is lost, and the only extant source is a 19th century copy located in the Berlin State Library. The present urtext score has no added articulations, tempi or slurs. Only dynamics have been added, as a possible suggested interpretation only.
