Printed editions of the 18th century

The list on this page is an overview of the various 18^th century editions of Quantz’s music that are known to us today. It is largely based on the “Quantz Werkverzeichnis (QV)” of Horst Augsbach. Further information about the printed editions can be found in the QV and in Appendix II “Eighteenth-Century Editions of Quantz’s Music” of the study of Edward R. Reilly “Quantz and his Versuch – Three Studies”.

The printed editions of Quantz’s works raise a number of questions relating to the authenticity of certain compositions. In the reference Mary Oleskiewicz pays attention (after Reilly and Auchsbach) to sorting out authentic from misattributed works in the printed editions of Walsh and Witvogel.
