@counterpoint85 Thank you
Why 466.8?
Why not 450, or 466.16 which is A# in A440 ?
Is there a tierce in the Hauptwerke mixture? Makes the mixture sound a little harsh.
Speeds up during the triplets.
Love the way he plays the countersubject - NOT connecting the repeated notes. Oops, he connects them in the pedal a few times. Why not show that pedals when they are busy?

Standards for tuning in the 18th century didn't exist, and varied wildly from place to place. As a general rule, string and woodwind instruments were lower than modern tuning, and organs higher. Bach wrote the organ parts in his Leipzig cantatas in a completely different key to the orchestra parts for this reason.
Consensus today -- A=440 modern instruments
A=415 baroque orchestral instruments and harpsichords.
A=460-470 baroque organs
