> Keith wrote: ​The second movement of Bach's Triple Concerto in​ ​A minor ​BWV 1044 goes to both e''' and f'''.

Thanks Keith!

I know this work well, of course. I did not include it in my list because its authorship has been contested. In the sleeve notes to his LP, Gustav Leonhardt asserted that it was almost certainly spurious, and I concur with this impression. Leonhardt found also that the most likely author was Müthel, writing about the time of JSBach's death. 

(The very fact that it gose up to f''' is one element for the doubtful authorship: it has been argued that, if it were authentic, it would date from Bach's Weimar period, when German harpsichords did not go that high up.)
