Dear Mr. Dimick I don't know how blogs work, but I want to bring the following to your attension.
In your transcription of Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, I believe that bar 24 should not be there. In other words, the music should go from bar 23 directly to bar 25. I discovered this while playing your version along with a CD recording, found the discrepancy and then checked against a piano version of the music. Both the CD and the printed piano version don't have your bar 24. Your bars 23 to 25 are the same as bars 7 to 9, but for reasons known only to J.S. himself, he seems to have left out the middle bar the second time around. Please check it out and if I am correct, I am sure you would wish to correct your version.
Thanks for your website - it is enjoyable and helpful.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for letting me know. I'll be taking care of that error when I post a new arrangement of Jesu.
