Leopold Godowsky’s heavily virtuosic incomplete solo piano transcription of three of these pieces followed a complete effort by Joachim Raff. Joseph Joachim recommended that Clara Schumann burn a complete piano accompaniment to these pieces by her husband. The “Westphal” and “Kellner” manuscripts are often cited as authoritative in preparing editions of these pieces, along with that of the composer’s wife Anna Magdalena. The galanteries of these six-movement pieces, which transition between minuet, bourree, and gavotte, are the only structural differences between them. The D major sixth of these pieces was written for an instrument with five strings. These solo pieces were considered studies until the 20th century, when Pablo Casals began to perform them. For 10 points, name these six large-scale works for solo string instrument by a Baroque composer. ■END■
