24 chorale preludes, formerly known as "from the Kirnberger collection" (BWV 690–713)
The 24 chorale preludes and five variants published as "from the Kirnberger Collection" in the 40th volume of the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe were all retained in the 690–713a range of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis. Johann Kirnberger's involvement with this collection of chorale preludes, some of which are spurious or doubtful, is however uncertain: modern scholarship no longer refers to this set as "Kirnberger Collection".- BWV 690 – Wer nur den lieben Gott läßt walten
