I apologize if this subject has already been discussed here, but I'm
wondering if Bach's Prelude (marked "Prelude pour la Luth ò Cembal), Fugue
& Allegro BWV 998 is playable as written (i.e. in E flat major, with all
the low bass notes) on a type of lute Bach might have known. If so, what
would the tuning (and the range) of such an instrument have been? If not,
how do scholars interpret or explain "pour la Luth" on the manuscript?
