I apologize that the chronology of the JMT series has become rather complicated. Here is an attempt to straighten things out, using dates of publication for the posts. All dates are in 2017.
15 May (link): The introduction to the series listed the compositions discussed, with musical examples, in the main text of my 1987 Journal of Music Theory article, "The Ascending Urlinie," along with those pieces named in the notes.
16 May (link): The second post added to the list those compositions analyzed by others but only mentioned in the main text of the article. Among those was one composition that merited further discussion: J. S. Bach, Prelude in C Major, BWV 924. In the same post, I reproduced the score and collated it with its variant BWV 924a.
Part 3: BWV 924 & 924a
19 May (link), 20 May (link): Continued discussion of .J. S. Bach, Prelude in C Major, BWV 924 and the variant BWV 924a. Additional posts: 2 September (link), 3 September (link).
