Bach Toccaten BWV 910 916 Peters
The seven Bach Tocatas contained in this issue of Peters are undoubtedly the most important piano compositions of the composer's period of evolution. None of the original tocatas have ever reached the present day, but seem to date from 1703 to 1707 in Arnstadt, and was the last compound in Weimar.

Edition Peters dates back to December 1, 1800, when the Vienna-educated composer and conductor Franz Anton Hoffmeister (1754–1812) partnered with organist Ambrosius Kühnel (c. 1770–1813) to establish a Bureau de Musique in Leipzig. Its activities included the sale of instruments - providing, among others, Goethe and Beethoven - and the publishing of books and sheet music.
The label is well known among classical music musicians for the variety and quality of its editions.
