I have been fascinated by this courante for 20 years. There was a
reconstruction done by Hans Neeman of the last line which I find very
unconvincing. There are two great recordings of sonata 40, the first by
Stephen Stubbs which is phenomenal. His reconstruction of the courante
must be magic I think. I transcribed his ending from the cd, and when
written out on the manuscript, the two notes that happen to be visible
of the missing part match up perfectly with Stubbs version. And there
is the recording by Robert Barto. I don't like his version of the
missing part, but that may just be because I was so used to the Stubbs
version for so long before. I gave Barto my transcription of the Stubbs
recording but he did his own. Sonata 40 is in my top 3 Weiss sonatas. I
think it shows Weiss--and the Baroque Lute--at their very best. It just
doesn't get any better than this---

Well, that explains that!
Who reconstructed this version of the ending? It is quite convincing.
