Anonymous Anonymous Poster From Internet Network: 170.224.224.x posted: 5/17/2004 at 8:08:08 AM ET In a case the previous answer didn't help and the answer is still not found I would love to offer some help. It is said that this composing doesn't "sound" Bach and so it is considered that it was written by someone else. A strong argument is that someone else wrote some parts of it and Bach himself wrote the other. On this toccata which he never called a toccata there are so many strange changes from his style. Perhaps something happen on 1708 but the best I can do is this. Bach never autographed this work. He signed each of his manuscripts with a marking SDG meaning Soli Deo Gloria or Alone to God the Glory. Oh and this composing was later used in Fantasia! maintube Registered User Registered: 5/26/2004 posted: 8/18/2004 at 4:19:25 PM ET February 24, 1708 Prince Johan Willem Friso sworn in as viceroy of Groningen February 28, 1708 Slave revolt, Newton, Long Island NY, 11 die March 23, 1708 English pretender to the throne James III lands at Firth of Forth March 27, 1708 English pretender to the throne James III flees to Dunkerk July 4, 1708 Swedish King Karel XII beats Russians July 11, 1708 Battle at Oudenaarde: Great Alliance beats France July 28, 1708 Monarch Amengkurat II [Sunan Mas] of Mataram gives himself up to VOC August 3, 1708 Battle at TrencsÇn: Austria beats Hungarian rebellion army August 29, 1708 English troops occupy Menorca & Sardinia August 29, 1708 Haverhill, Mass destroyed by French & Indians September 28, 1708 Battle at Lesnaya: Russian army captures Swedish convoy October 9, 1708 Battle at Lesnaya: Russian army captures Swedish convoy October 21, 1708 Dutch & English troops occupy Lille (Rijsel) October 22, 1708 Great Alliance occupies Rijsel December 1, 1708 Great Alliance occupies Brussels December 14, 1708 Prosper Jolyot's "Electre," premieres in Paris December 29, 1708 Great Alliance occupies Gent December 31, 1708 Great Alliance captures Bridge maintube Registered User Registered: 5/26/2004 posted: 8/18/2004 at 4:22:27 PM ET # J.S.
