Sechs Kleine Præludien, J. N. Forkel & J. C. Kittel Collection.

Are these known with certainty to be by Bach? Apparently all available sources are from after 1750, and contain un-Bach-like keyboard writing and "intervention" (possibly improvements by e.g. C.P.E. Bach) besides (in the opinion of R.D.P. Jones, The Creative Development of Johann Sebastian Bach, Volume II: 1717-1750: Music to Delight the Spirit, volume 2, p.241 (who does not raise a question of authenticity but does make those other points...) - Schissel
