indicates the type of keyboard instrument on which this fugue may have been performed.... Explanation: The organ used in the example ***is indicative of*** a keyboard instrument on which this fugue may have been performed, though it is not necessary for the performance to be on a baroque-style instrument, (as in a performance of this piece on the piano). I'd rewrite the sentence: "The organ used in the example indicates the type of keyboard instrument on which this fugue may have been [originally] performed. It does not, however, need to be performed on only baroque-style instruments (and could, for instance, be played on a piano)." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-05-14 18:52:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thought . . . it looks like the "It" refers to the organ and not the fugue... so I'd change it to read, "This fugure, however, does not need to be performed on only baroque-style instruments (and could, for instance, be played on a piano)." Something to that effect. |
