James Isray wrote (December 2016): BWV 921 should perhaps be noted as "realized" by Petri, chiefly regarding the arpeggios which are notated as half notes (à la Chromatic Fantasy). But really there is not a Petri connection. The real error is the BWV number. H. Cohen plays it 99.999% as written - no transcribing is evident at all. Perhaps she learned the arpeggio realization from Petri personally, and so credited him. BWV 921 is a short Praeludium in C minor, also known as "Fantasie". Naxos calls the H. Cohen recording "Fantasia and Fugue in C minor BWV 906" but incomplete, limited to the "Fantasia". Of course it is not the famous BWV 906 incomplete, it is BWV 921 complete.
