I'm getting the music tomorrow (I think one section has been cut - not sure which at the moment), though I have some extracts in the Evelyn Rothwell 'Difficult Passages' Bach book (published by Boosey&Hawkes) to keep me going until I get the real dots. Indeed there is a lot to do in this though it's all worthwhile, and I have a light reed (modified cor reed) to make things easy going.

There's a low Bb in one of them - bit odd in that the Baroque oboe d'amore only went to low C (unless they put a roll of paper in the bell).
