Neue Bach-Ausgabe page: misspelt German note names

Post by Albrights »

The page for the Neue Bach-Ausgabe https://imslp.org/wiki/Neue_Bach-Ausgab ... Sebastian) contains some (rather embarrassing) typos in the German note names/key signature names in sections 7.5.6 and .7 (contents listings for the two volumes of the Wohltemperierte Clavier)
Here are the correct key signatures:
BWV 848 Cis-Dur (Dur is usually capitalised in these compounds)
849 cis-moll
852 Es-Dur
853 es-moll/dis-moll (prelude in Eb minor, fugue in D# minor)
858 Fis-Dur
859 fis-moll
862 As-Dur
863 gis-moll

The contents listing for 7.5.7 WTC II is altogether incomplete; two typos should be corrected into:
872a Cis-Dur
876a Es-Dur

Best, albrights

These note names/key signature names are not present in Bach's autograph. Wouldn't an English version thereof be still better? :-)

Thanks Fixed. I wanted to have this in the German from the Baerenreiter edition as close as possible thats listed in the titles there. I realize some of the namings might be wrong. When I get to uploading more of these volumes and I see the contents (I haven't even gotten to Series IV and V yet), corrections will be made. I copied and pasted all of these contents at the time off of the Baerenreiter website thats listed on the General Info section. With a list this big, errors are bound to happen.
