''Erster Theil etlicher Choräle'' (commonly known as ''Acht Choräle zum Präambulieren'', PWC 45–52, T. 1–8, PC 1–8) is a collection of liturgical organ music by Johann Pachelbel, published during his lifetime. It contains eight chorale preludes in seven different styles. ==General information== ''Erster Theil etlicher Choräle'' (literally "First Part of (collection of ) assorted chorales") is one of Pachelbel's earliest publications. It is a mystery, however, when or where it was first published. Johann Mattheson mentions that the first edition appeared before 1693, while the edition lacked any indications of the year of publication. The only copy extant today is a Nuremberg edition by Johann Christoph Weigel, who also published Pachelbel's ''Hexachordum Apollinis'' (1699) and a reprint of his ''Musicalische Ergötzung''.〔Welter, p. 180.〕 This copy is marked "1693", however, there are two problems with this date. The first is that it was added by another hand at a later date, the second is that Weigel did not start working in Nuremberg until at least 1698. Thus, the surviving copy must be a second or a third edition.〔Welter, pp. 136–9.〕 Given the number of reprints, ''Erster Theil'' must have enjoyed considerable popularity. The title indicates that Pachelbel may have wished to publish a set of chorale collections, however, no other chorale publications by him are known. Johann Christoph Bach (1671–1721), Johann Sebastian's eldest brother and one of Pachelbel's most important pupils, may have assisted with the publication of the first edition of ''Erster Theil etlicher Choräle'', for the engraving closely resembles his handwriting. A manuscript collection of chorale preludes by Johann Christoph Bach (1642–1703), Johann Sebastian's first cousin once removed, organist at Eisenach (where Pachelbel made acquaintance with members of the Bach family during his stay there 1677-1678), may have some connection to Pachelbel's ''Erster Theil'', given the similarity of not only the subject but also the titles of both collections: * Pachelbel: ''Erster Theil etlicher Choräle welche bey wärendem Gottes Dienst zum Prämbuliren gebrauchet werden können'' * Bach: ''44 Choräle welche bey wärenden Gottes-Dienst zum Praembuliren gebraucht werden können'' It is not known, however, who influenced whom.〔Welter, pp. 149–50.〕 No other printed collections of chorale preludes survive from the period, making Pachelbel's ''Erster Theil'' unique in its choice of subject.〔Welter, p. 140.〕 Decades after its publication, the collection was singled out by Mattheson, who described the contents as "models (chorale writing ) not to be dismissed" in his ''Der vollkommene Capellmeister'' (1739).〔Welter, p. 136.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erster Theil etlicher Choräle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
