Navigation etc.

Instrumentation - The copy (abschrift) of F31/3 at Staatsbibliothek Berlin, for instance, seems to be for fortepiano (see RISM 452505880) ; that of the whole set in Kiev is for organ; another copy of no.1 also in Kiev is for harpsichord, likewise a copy of no.6 in Brussels. So it does not seem clear that the whole set is for organ and only that!
