Maybe some musicologists dispute the authorship of that work, but who else could have wrote it? Just compare that youthful composition to the 7 toccatas for harpsichord BWV 910 à 916, and the stylistic link will become obvious.
There is the belief that this piece began its life as a work for unaccompanied 5 string cello (or even violin): the fugue subject lies very well for that instrument, and Bach is known to have transcribed at least one of his solo violin pieces for organ. See this article .
The earliest known manuscript copy for organ is in Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Musikabteilung.

At the end of the 4th organ score, some extra pages are mistakenly included. I do not know how to rectify this. Wikispaghetti 23:48, 3 January 2018 (CET)
