So were JSB's three gamba sonatas originally intended for trumpet?

JSB didn't play gamba either as evidenced by his reassignment of nicely
playable lute part in the MatthäusPassion to an impossible one for gamba
in
the 2nd version.
Any gambist would tell you that that "gamba" part is pure hell.

Needless to say, I regard these trumpet parts as proof that Purcell
didn't
intend that Bach's orchestral suites be played on the lute.
