I have the Alfred edition of Bach's 18 Short Preludes. I'm trying to find the BWV numbers that identify each piece.
The six short preludes go from BWV 933-938
The twelve short preludes aren't in sequence. Can someone go through the twelve short preludes and identify the key signatures and the BWV numbers?

Try checking them here:

There's no set of 12, so I'm guessing they're the ones with BWV numbers immediately before or after the 933-938 set.

Thanks, I was able to use that site and find all 18 BWV numbers for the Alfred edition.

Alfred's
12 Short Preludes:
1.924 cmaj
2.939 cmaj
3.999 cmin
4.925 dmaj
5.926 dmin
6.940 dmin
7.941 emin
8.927 fmaj
9.928 fmaj
10.929 gmin
11.930 gmin
12.942 amin
-----
6 Short Preludes:
1.933 cmaj
2.934 cmin
3.935 dmin
4.936 dmaj
5.937 emaj
6.938 emin
There are 4 sets of prelude numbers:
BWV 921 -923 Preludes
BWV 924-932 Little Preludes from Klavierbuchlein
BWV 933-938 Six Little Preludes
BWV 939-943 Five Preludes from Johann Kellner

-------------------------------------------

Is Angela Hewitt's Recording of the French Suites with the 18 prelude the best for listening to the Little Preludes?
