''Musicalische Sterbens-Gedanken'' ("Musical Thoughts on Death/Dying") is a collection of keyboard music by Johann Pachelbel. It was first published in 1683 and contains four sets of chorale variations. ==General information== First published in Erfurt in 1683, ''Musicalische Sterbens-Gedancken'' is now lost. According to Walther's ''Musicalisches Lexicon'' (Leipzig, 1732), four sets of chorale variations constituted the collection, and attempts have been made by musicologists such as Max Seiffert and Hans Joachim Moser to reconstruct the work using Pachelbel's surviving chorale variations. There is little doubt that the collection included the following three pieces: * ''Christus, der ist mein Leben'', chorale and 12 variations, in G major (G Mixolydian) * ''Alle Menschen müssen sterben'', chorale and 8 variations, in D major * ''Herzlich tut mich verlangen'', chorale and 7 variations in C major (Ionian) Most reconstructions (and editions) include ''Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan'', chorale and 9 variations in G major (G Mixolydian), as the final work of the set, based on stylistic similarities. The status of this particular piece is, however, disputed; it has been suggested that ''Freu dich sehr, o meine Seele'' (chorale and 12 variations), which survives as a copy made in 1716 by Heinrich Nikolaus Gerber,〔See () for more information and an image.〕 JS Bach's pupil, should replace ''Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan''. As the title indicates, the collection was probably influenced by the deaths of Pachelbel's first wife, Barbara Gabler, and their only child. They both died in Erfurt in September 1683 during an epidemic. 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「Musicalische Sterbens-Gedancken」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
