       This is one of Bach's more dramatic and virtuosic pieces. (In his
time, he was respected more for his virtuosity than his skill as a composer;
his songs were considered too complex for common enjoyment.)
       The notation in the music I used seemed unorthodox; it resorted to 
putting the two hands together in one melody line, and only distinguishing
which played what by the method of beaming... I ended up just guessing. This
must not be extremely unusual, but I do suspect I have made some mistakes.  
If you find any, correct me at ckermiht@teleport.com.

	The tempo I chose is a bit fast.  The presto may be slowed to 100bpm
and still sound well.
	For a larger organ sound, the manual tracks may be put slightly to
the right and left. I have not done this, considering the parts where the
melody is not separated by left and right hands.
	If you are using an FM synthesizer and your "Church Organ" patch is
not convincing, a good alternative is "Clavinet" or "Harpsichord" for the
manuals and "Cello" for the pedal. Such transpositions were common at the
time and do not make the piece 'incorrect', but may lack the original
texture and grandeur.
