	A Visit to Arnstadt
		The Arnstadt organ survived into the nineteenth century virtually intact, but by the middle of the nineteenth century the little two manual organ with its 21 stops and old fashioned tuning and layout did not satisfy the tastes of the time.
		Since the majority of surviving examples of Bach's fingering are in C major and use crossing, this has led to the mistaken idea that Bach was slow to adopt passing the thumb under for scale passages.
		Since Arnstadt is the only organ that survives of all of the instruments Bach played in the churches he served, this is the best evidence that we have, it seems to me.

		In spite of some reluctance on the part of the city council to hire a young man with a less than exemplary employment record, the salary settled upon the new organist was equal to what Bach had earned in Arnstadt, and it was considerably more than that of his predecessor.
		During Georg Ahle's tenure as organist, the musical standards of the church had decayed, but the post was still a respectable one, and several candidates played the organ at services as an audition for the post.

		One particular non-musical rebuke suggests that Arnstadt, despite the constraints for a genius of twenty-one, was a fortunate post: "They further inquire by what right he recently had an unfamiliar maiden invited into the choir loft and let her make music there." This was his second cousin Maria Barbara, soon to be his wife.
