* The arrangement of No.18 for solo organ was formerly believed to have been an original composition by {{LinkComp|Johann Sebastian|Bach}} (BWV Anh.43)

Also, the comment above regarding the Fugue in B Minor (BWV Anh. 43) is incorrect. It is not at all an arrangement of any movement of the work, and Movement 18 is actually a Recitative for Soprano solo and Continuo. It states on the score itself "Johann Sebastian Bach BWV 236", so it appears that the theme of the fugue in question comes from the fourth so-called "Lutheran Mass" in G Major BWV 236.

Here is a link to the principal manuscript score for the work (title page in an unknown hand, score in the hand of Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch, son of Johann Friedrich Fasch and Zelter's teacher and predecessor as Director of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin (which he founded):

Thanks for all this lovely info. It's been added now (with the obvious modifications to fit the format of the "General Information" section. The Fugue in B minor will be moved onto its own page as it is an unrelated work.

Also, the Einleitung (Overture) on IMSLP listed under the title of "Die Auferstehung und Himmelsfahrts Jesu" TWV 6: 6 is in reality the Einleitung (Overture) to the Passion Cantata "Der Tod Jesu" TWV 5: 6.
