Oh I'm sorry. I thought the piece was just an improvisation of one of Bach's fugues, so I was wondering which one. It definitely sounds Bach like.

The question: Which Bach piece is this? Or is it not?

Sorry - evidently I missed it. I haven't done any of the chamber concerti. I don't have my own string section, and they just don't seem right without one.
