The initial impetus for this inquiry came from a question posed by Arthur Mendel during a coffee break in a Bach seminar some thirty years ago. Why, he asked, did Bach notate the last movement of the fifth Brandenburg Concerto in two-four time, with triplets (Ex. 1): Example 1. Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, BWV 1050/3, original notation rather than in six-eight time (Ex. 2)? Example 2. Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, BWV 1050/3, hypothetical version
