The Bach-Gesellschaft Edition (German: Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe, BGA) of the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach was published in a series of 46 volumes from 1851-1899, by the Bach-Gesellschaft and Breitkopf & Härtel. A single supplemental volume was issued in 1926. These volumes are public domain worldwide. The last surviving editor of the series died in 1928. The edition varied in quality, depending upon the individual editor in question. The BGA volumes edited by Wilhelm Rust (1822-1892) were generally quite good and often differ little from their modern counterparts found in the Neue Bach Ausgabe. Other editors were less meticulous. Also, lost manuscripts and other source material have surfaced which resulted in significant changes. However, other manuscripts have been lost, so the BGA is still an important source.
