Thanks.  Peter Williams is the musicologist who (AFAIK) first suggested
that, to quote the BBC radio programme wherein I first heard his
exposition, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor for organ was probably
not by Bach, not called Toccata and Fugue, not in D minor and not written
for organ.

His talk was followed by Jaap Schroder (I think 'twas he) playing a
reconstruction of the "original".  Still have a tape of that somewhere....
