I have in all cases retained Bach's rather idiosyncratic spelling of the movement titles just as they appear in his autograph of 1720. He does rather jump between Italian and French versions in the most apparently random fashion, but this gives some spice and above all a human quality to what, in a printed edition with all anomalies ironed out, can seem a rather dry description.
Admission by Cathedral entrance ticket or pass.
