Most of the ensembles performing the Musical Offering just play the 6-part Ricercar on harpsichord or organ. It took me a long time to figure out why - I think it's because most of these groups don't have 6 people! Ensemble Sonnerie is a happy exception, and it might be fun to listen to how they make their choices - not unlike the Igor Markevitch string arrangement of the opening Ricercar that we listened to in seminar today.
