Given a simple, simply laced, complex Lie algebra $\bfg$ corresponding to the Lie group $G$, let $\bfnp$ be the subalgebra generated by the positive roots. In this paper we construct a BV-algebra $\fA[\bfg]$ whose underlying graded commutative algebra is given by the cohomology, with respect to $\bfnp$, of the algebra of regular functions on $G$ with values in $\mywedge (\bfnp\backslash\bfg)$. We conjecture that $\fA[\bfg]$ describes the algebra of {\it all} physical (i.e., BRST invariant) operators of the noncritical $\cW[\bfg]$ string. The conjecture is verified in the two explicitly known cases, $\bfg=\sltw$ (the Virasoro string) and $\bfg=\slth$ (the $\cW_3$ string).
