This table includes chorales from the Schmieder catalogue as well as other chorales attributed to Bach that do not appear in the Breitkopf–Riemenschneider collection.

Texture: Refers to the type of instrumental texture, of which there are three possibilities: A "C" refers to a chorale in which the instruments are either colla parte (simple doubling of voice parts) or tacet. An "OB" refers to chorales in which obbligato instruments decorate the four voice parts with independent parts. (Such parts are included in this anthology.) An "I" refers to a chorale with instruments providing an independent texture which includes interludes between chorale phrases. (Such instrumental parts are not included in this anthology.) A "C*" refers to a chorale that has survived by way of a compilation rather than an original source (e.g. BWV 1122–1125 having survived by way of the Dietel collection). It is at least conceivable that such chorales once had accompanying instrumental obbligato parts or even more elaborate instrumental textures.

Dietel: While these chorales are absent in the Breitkopf / Riemenschneider collection, some are present in the Dietel collection. Such chorales are indicated by their placement in the Dietel collection.
