I am not sure if Bach thought of two violins or not. It is an interesting question - but perhaps when we listen to the beauty of this music, all questions subside spontaneously; at least that's what I like most when listening to music - questions just disappear, and therefore answers are not looked for. For once we live in the present Now and enjoy the music as long as it lasts, and then we enjoy the silent after-effect as well as if it was part of the music. Bravo, unbeatable performance.
