BWV Anhang 125 - Polonaise Uploaded by: 162_Ranks Composer: Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Organ: St. Peter und Paul Weissenau Software: Hauptwerk IV Views: 186
Manuscript Am. 386, owned by the Staatsbibliothek Berlin contains some 20 chorale preludes by Johann Philipp Kirnberger. And one by a certain “Mademoiselle Grunow”. It’s probably not a coincidence a collection of works by Kirnberger contains one work by this Mademoiselle Grunow. But it remains a mystery who she was or what her relationship with Kirnberger was. Other than a reference to a second work by her hand I can not find anything about her.
But the piece itself is simple, yet charming.
