List of compositions by Johann Ludwig Krebs

This page lists the compositions of Johann Ludwig Krebs as compiled by Felix Friedrich in the Krebs-Werkeverzeichnis (Krebs Works Catalogue).

The catalogue is divided into nine sections by category, with each work assigned a Krebs-WV number (sometimes seen as KrebsWV or KWV in recordings and other sources). Unassigned numbers were left at the end of each section to accommodate future discoveries or attributions while maintaining the category structure.

The order within each category is not chronological, as many of Krebs' works cannot be dated. The order within published collections, such as the Clavier-Übung, was maintained.

Questions of authorship were addressed in several ways. A number of anonymous works were listed in the final section (Krebs-WV 9xx) that have been attributed to Krebs but cannot be verified. There are also a number of works that are ascribed to Krebs and other composers in various sources. These were included in the main sections but noted as such.

The Eight Short Preludes and Fugues, originally attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach as BWV 553–560, were not included in the Krebs-WV. The authorship of these pieces has been debated for many years, with Krebs, his father Johann Tobias Krebs and other students of Bach suggested as the true author. Friedrich decided not to include the pieces in the catalogue, noting that recent scholarship, including the critical reports submitted for the New Bach Edition, has viewed Krebs's authorship with extreme doubt, and that no new insights on the issue have emerged in recent years.[1][2][3]

Composition Notes
I. Cantata Erthönt erfreute Andachts-Lieder See Krebs-WV 107.
II. Motet Tröste uns Gott, unser Heiland See Krebs-WV 153.
III. 21 Chorales Listed in a catalog by Hoffmeister and Kühnel with no further information. Considered lost.
IV. 27 Chorales Listed in a catalog by Breitkopf. Considered lost.
V. Toccata From a note in a private collection. Unknown whether this is for Krebs-WV 406 or 411, or for a previously unknown work.

Notes
  1. There is no autograph for the prelude. It first appears, paired with the fugue, in 19th-century published editions. An autograph for the fugue exists, but it bears no indication of an accompanying prelude. So while the works are a harmonious combination, there is no definitive evidence that Krebs intended them to be paired. Weinberger publishes them separately but performs them together in his recording.[6][7] Friedrich combines them in the catalogue but performs them separately in his recording.
  2. There has been much debate over the authorship of Krebs-WV 554c (BWV 740). All four versions of the chorale have been handed down only in published editions: Krebs-WV 554, 554a and 554b attributed to Krebs, and 554c attributed to Bach. However, the structural concept of 554c is very similar to that of 554a, suggesting that they are by the same author. Doubts of Bach's authorship of 554c have also been raised on stylistic grounds. The likely attribution of 554c to Krebs is asserted by Tittel (1966) and accepted by Emans (1997), Weinberger (1986) and Williams (2003). BWV 740 was not included in the New Bach Edition (Emans 2008).
