De qualquer forma, já que as obras catalogadas na BWV com numeração de 1 a 222 são as cantatas, poderíamos supor que a BWV 1 fosse a primeira das cantatas compostas por Bach. Mas não é o que ocorre. Veja o que diz Thomas Braatz sobre isso nesta análise:
Thomas Braatz wrote (March 26, 2001):
About the number 1 in BWV 1: No gematria, no numerology, no nothing!! It was a purely arbitrary choice. The BG had planned to publish as the opening work in the BG the B-minor Mass, but a Swiss publisher was still holding on to the autograph copy. If I read the detailed notes in the BGG I p. 1003 correctly, then BWV 1 (not known by that number, of course) was published in two separate parts (at different times) at the beginning of the 19th century. It may have been the first cantata ever to be published. In any case here is the definitive statement that explains what Aryeh wanted to know:
"Die durch BA (read this as BG) eingeführte Zählung der Kantaten ist willkürlich, aber allgemein gebräuchlich und auch von Neumann, 'Handbuch der Kantaten,' 1947, und von Schmieder BWV, 1950, beibehalten worden."
The numbering system introduced by the BG (1851) is completely arbitrary, but is generally used, and has been maintained by Neumann in his 'Handbook of the Cantatas', 1947 and by Schmieder, 1950, in the BWV numbering system that is used today.
Note that this cantata is from the second Leipzig cycle.
The original score of BWV 1 is lost, but we have the original parts copied under Bach's supervision and corrected by him. These parts are the primary source for determining the printed copy in the NBA. The voice parts look like this (sorry, no picture - just a description): (the sequence of numbers at the end indicated the number of staffs on each page)
Soprano part - one large double sheet containing 3 pages of actual musical notation 13, 13, 14, 13.
Contains mvts. 1, 3, 6 and tacet for all other movements
Alto part - one sheet with 2 pages notated 14, 13.
Contains mvts. 1 and 6 tacet for the rest
Tenor part - one large double sheet with 4 pages notated 13, 14, 14, 13.
Contains mvts. 1, 2, 5, 6 tacet for the rest
Bass part - one large double sheet with 3 pages notated 13, 14, 14, 13.
Contains mvts. 1, 4, 6 tacet for the rest
Looks like another point in favour of OVPP, or, at the most two looking at the same page.
