 ef background from Wikipedia:\n\nThe Clavier-Übung III\, sometimes referr
 ed to as the German Organ Mass\, is a collection of compositions for organ
  by Johann Sebastian Bach\, started in 1735–36 and published in 1739. It
  is considered Bach's most significant and extensive work for organ\, cont
 aining some of his musically most complex and technically most demanding c
 ompositions for that instrument.\n\nIn its use of modal forms\, motet-styl
 e and canons\, it looks back to the religious music of masters of the stil
 e antico\, such as Frescobaldi\, Palestrina\, Lotti and Caldara. At the s
 ame time\, Bach was forward-looking\, incorporating and distilling modern 
 baroque musical forms\, such as the French-style chorale.[1]\n\nThe work h
 as the form of an Organ Mass: between its opening and closing movements—
 the prelude and "St Anne" fugue in E-flat\, BWV 552—are 21 chorale prelu
 des\, BWV 669–689\, setting parts of the Lutheran mass and catechisms\, 
 followed by four duets\, BWV 802–805. The chorale preludes range from co
 mpositions for single keyboard to a six-part fugal prelude with two parts 
 in the pedal.\n\nThe purpose of the collection was fourfold: an idealized 
 organ programme\, taking as its starting point the organ recitals given by
  Bach himself in Leipzig\; a practical translation of Lutheran doctrine in
 to musical terms for devotional use in the church or the home\; a compendi
 um of organ music in all possible styles and idioms\, both ancient and mod
 ern\, and properly internationalised\; and as a didactic work presenting e
 xamples of all possible forms of contrapuntal composition\, going far beyo
 nd previous treatises on musical theory.[2]
