Somewhere between 100 and 200 pieces.  Solo concertos, scattered preludes
and fugues, several fantasias and capriccii, half the Art of Fugue, the
Musical Offering ricercars, various sonatas, more suites, the four Duetti,
the prelude/fugue/allegro in Eb, the Friedemann book, the Anna Magdalena
book, the flute sonatas, the concertos for more than one harpsichord, the
triple concerto, the keyboard arrangement of Brandenburg 4, ....

And that's not mentioning any of the organ works....
