The Art Of Fugue

"A few low notes in the parts played here by 2nd violin [=alto part] and viola [=tenor part] lie below the range of the instruments. To avoid any alterations of register in performing Bach's score, those notes (occuring in tracks 1-4, 6-8, 10-11, 13-14, 21, i.e. in all 4-part Contrapuncti except Nos. 5 and 9) were played on viola or tenor viola, respective."
