Quality music, but this transcription has errors

Comments:

This piece isn't all that hard to learn and memorize. It is very good for teaching phrasing and shaping lines. Your student might be surprised when they receive the piece and it's 12 measures long, but 3 minutes in duration. There are some major errors in the transcription ranging from missing accidentals to completely wrong chords. Anyone who plays this should compare it to the original chorale and correct the transcription before learning any of the solo because the chords that are wrong in the transcription are VERY wrong. Overall, I would say that this is a very good piece of music (duh, it's Bach), but the quality of the transcription is poor and requires some research.
