Catalogue Note
Extrêmement rare: quatre autres exemplaires sont enregistrés dans d'autres pays (Brussels, Conservatoire Royal de Musique; Hamburg, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek; London, British Library; Moscow, Gosudarstvennaja biblioteka SSSR im. V. I. Lenina). Cette édition n'est jamais parue en vente publique depuis 1954 (Sotheby's, vente du 24 Mai 1954, lot 185). Organiste de la prestigieuse Nikolaikirche de Hamburg durant les quarantes dernières années de sa vie, Vincent Lübeck fut, à l'instar de Buxtehude et Bruhns, l'un des plus importants compositeur allemand pour orgue de son temps.
Of exceptional rarity. RISM lists only four other copies (Brussels, Conservatoire Royal de Musique; Hamburg, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek; London, British Library; Moscow, Gosudarstvennaja biblioteka SSSR im. V. I. Lenina). We have not traced the edition at auction since 1954 (sale in these rooms, 24 May 1954, lot 185). Organist for the last four decades of his life at the prestigious Nikolaikirche, Hamburg, Vincent Lübeck was, alongside Buxtehude and Bruhns, one of the most important North German organist composers of his time.
It is very likely that this magnificent edition was known to Johann Sebastaian Bach.
