@@anotherdepressedmusician the first thing that comes to mind for me is bwv 530 (1st movement) In general, that figuration sounds like it's based on circle of fifths (slightly simplified chords for this capriccio Fm -> Bb -> Eb -> Ab -> D dim -> G -> Cm), and here it's also paired with that fun bass line F Eb D Bb - Eb D C Ab - D C B G, this exact line (but in E minor) appears in bwv 530 too, it's quite possible Bach used this idea somewhere else 'Signature' is an exaggeration probably, because Vivaldi used circle of fifths much much more often in his music for example, it's certainly a cliche from baroque, but the way Bach creates beautiful complex melodies on top of that progression is a big vibe by itself for me :D One more example is fugue from Overture bwv 1067, there is that beautiful moment when flute plays cool melody, and it's on top of the same chord progression

I love these performances on harpsichord with a lot of reverb. Played on a period instrument in what is reminiscent of a church setting, the sound is not unlike what Bach would have heard. While piano renditions are beautiful, wild fluctuations in dynamics that are often played mess with the counterpoint, in my opinion. Bach didn't write for pianoforte, and probably wanted equal weight for both voices.

Sounds very interesting on harpsichord, but for the first movement I still prefer piano because I just feel it sounds more mellow and gives it more of a soft ''sung'' quality that way, less harsh to harm its lyrical feel. I really like the recording engineer's work on this recording though, the reverb sounds so natural and doesn't detract from the detail of the performance, it has a wonderful atmospheric feel. I also really loved this sound change with the Rondeaux.
