Below is a sortable table of Bach chorales. The default arrangement is by BWV number. The primary source for the information provided here are the commentaries accompanying NBA (Neue Bach Ausgabe) volumes III/2.1 and III/2.2

BWV: Because of chorale duplicates in the Breitkopf–Riemenschneider collection, some BWV numbers are listed twice. For sorting purposes, additional appearances of the same BWV number are listed in parentheses.

B (Breitkopf): Refers to a chorale’s appearance in the original Breitkopf collection published in the 1780s, a collection edited principally by C.P.E. Bach. Numbers initalics represent chorales that appear in keys differing from their original.
R (Riemenschneider): Refers to a chorale’s appearance in the Riemenschneider edition commonly used in the US. The numberscorrespond very closely (though not identically) to the original Breitkopf edition on which it is based.
