Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Institut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Institut is an institute dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach in Göttingen, Germany. It was founded in 1951 as lead edition institute for the Neue Bach-Ausgabe, the second complete edition of the composer's works. In cooperation with the Bach-Archiv Leipzig, the new edition met rigorous scientific requirements and at the same time served musical practice.

The institute ended its activities in 2006.
