"more in line with a romantic interpretation than with the baroque original. As a violin can't play very loudly in its lowest register, all the other parts of Bach's music were firmly reduced in Wilhelmj's version: the keyboard part is to be played staccato and pianissimo, causing the effects of interweaving melodies and of drive in the bass part to go lost. In the strings accompaniment version the violins and violas play muted (""con sordino""), and the bass part for cellos and double basses is to be played pizzicato and , with the same change in effect compared to Bach's"

The source is lost, but the existing parts date from circa 1730.
