Yasuaki Fujita put some BoF1 notes and credits here, nice. Summary:

When he became in charge of BoF1, he thought about resigning after it, so he worked extra hard and is very fond of it.
The "concept" was that of a "piano concerto", and so piano was used.
Since this was Capcom's first RPG, everybody in the sound team wanted to help.
Thus S-mura [Yoko Shimomura], Y-guchi [Mari Yamaguchi], F-i [Minae Fujii] and N-mura [Tatsuya Nishimura] did a number of songs.

The songs the guests did releaved for the first time (tracks from the Special Box):
Yamaguchi: 1-06, 1-21, 2-12, 2-15, 2-23
Shimomura: 2-06
Fujii: 1-07
Nishimura: 2-05

Since he resigned before the game was done, he thanks Yamaguchi who took over for the additional tracks.
As an annecdote, he was in a slump. Yamaguchi wrote for him the famous map BGM 1-06, and after hearing it he was able to get over it. So maybe if Yamaguchi would have been in charge, we'd have an awesomer BoF?

He also comments in this album's liner notes, but just general stuff.


Now, this clashes with what Jormungand's guesswork here, but nothing indicates Fujita's left the guest list incomplete. So Fujita = main I suppose.
