Well, I wasn't talking about the bowings in the Brandenburgs, which I've never actually looked at (I have a facsimile of the autograph, so I could easily do so, just haven't looked at it). I was specifically addressing the bowings in the 3 gamba sonatas, which are pretty non-idiomatic in terms of all the other gamba repertory I know anything about. But, again, I don't know what the origin the bowings in Dreyfus's Henle "urtext" edition are. I'm sure he tells us in the notes, and I know I've read them -- I just don't remember the details and don't have it at hand to check. -- David W.
