 Critical Notes
The "Musikalisches Blumen-Büschlein" appeared as opus 2 of Johann Kaspar Ferdinand
Fischer in 1698 when Fischer served as chapel master at the court of Baden in Rastatt.
It contains eight suites consisting of a varying number of short pieces. This edition is
based on the original printing available at www.imslp.org.
For ease of readability rests have been added by the editor, which were put into paren-
theses. Although the source of the current edition has been prepared with great care, in
rare cases one nds obvious errors. These errors were corrected and the changes being
made can be found in the table below. The following notation is used: the columns, in
order, represent the page, the name of the piece, the bar within the piece, the beat and
then follows the change being made. Other indications are r.h. (right hand), l.h. (left
hand), u.v. (upper voice), m.v. (middle voice) and l.v. (lower voice).
