Stinson begins by discussing Bach's reasons for compiling the Orgelbuchlein set and his original plans to create a comprehensive hymnal consisting of 164 chorales. The second chapter examines Bach's compositional process in this work - an issue largely untouched by previous commentary - and leads into a consideration of the music in its historical context, with attention to each of the three main types of chorale found in the collection: the melody chorale, the ornamental chorale, and the chorale canon.
