Dear all, I'm wondering which keys are favored these days for the Bach "lute" works, and which editions are commonly used. I played around with PFA in F, D and Eb the last two days and I think Eb is still the most reasonable key, although the Praeludium (and only the Praeludium...) is a piece of cake in D. Am I right in assuming that in Eb the sixth course is also lowered to Ab? (I seem to remember a historic example for this, but what is it?) 995 is very nice in Am, and 996 seems to be a nightmare in any other key than Gm (I haven't tried Fm yet, but it certainly looks horrible: http://www.utorpheus.com/misc/pagine_musica/sds004.pdf). I would very much appreciate your views and thoughts.
