You bring up the question of key and instrument: D mj, which is fingered F mj on an hautbois d'amour, fits the tessitura of the outter mvmts of this concerto, J.S. even gives the player places to breathe, which is why I am completely convinced that it's an hautboy piece...despite that i'm an hautboy player. ;) I don't know why violists limit themselves.

I don't know a Bach cantata that fits that description. What's it called?

It's one of the solo cantatas, well, soprano and bass. BWV 49 "ich geh und suche mit verlangen"

THe HARRISON organ was intended to play all periods of music. The tracker backers are the only ones who insist that 17th & 18th Century music cannot be played on most organs. The "Articulation" of organ pipes are controlled by the voicer, not the windchest, valves or pipe material. There are plenty of organs to prove this. BTW - Fisk builds a good organ even if they are trackers. CB Fisk is a rarity amoung current builders.

I don't know the Harrison or what it was "intended" to play.

But I do know that modern violins strung with metal strings, as well as some other instruments of the modern orchestra, are also "intended" to perform all periods of music. Yet the sound of the modern instruments is quite different from that of period instruments.

WC - With 400 years of changes in form & process of making instruments how do we have Authenticity. We must also have the same acoustics in which the original music, and instruments on which it was played. How far can Authenticity be pushed before it becomes impractical or impossible? Can an orchestra have complete sets of instruments to play each piece in a concert? Must all buildings duplicate concert halls built in 1700?

Should the performers also where period costumes since these might also affect the acoustics?

You seem to be making the absurd suggestion that unless we can reproduce all the acoustics down to the buildings, then we should abandon all efforts to achieve authenticity.

Some of the music Bach wrote for the court at Coethen, he later performed in Zimmermann's coffeehouse!

I doubt the coffee house had the same acoustics as Prince Leopold's court.

In Bach's day, his music was never performed in concert halls.

Original instruments DO exist, and faithful copies CAN and ARE made from originals.
