The chorale arrangements and chorale partitas by Georg Böhm (1661-1733) are still popular in our time with both professional and amateur organists. Historically, Böhm has been important for his influence on Johann Sebastian Bach, although nothing is known about personal contacts between these two composers. Böhm came from southeastern Germany. In 1693 he moved to Hamburg. Nothing is known about
