Need help with fingering for Bach cello suite no. 2 Courante and Menuet 1

I’m working on Bach cello suite no 2 and can’t seem to figure out good fingering on the courante and the first Minuet. I’m using the version transcribed by Stephane Wiener for the Serge Collot collection published by Billaudot

Which Fugue is your Favourite?

I don't know if people here do answer these questions. But In all the vast catalogue of fugue which one's your favourite.

For me It's G minor Fugue BWV.542.

(I know Bach's all works are and will be extraordinary always)

Similar pieces to BWV 668 (Vor deinen Thron tret' ich hiermit) for piano?

Are there any similar-sounding pieces to BWV 668, the one at the end of Art of Fugue? I really love the slow chorale texture. I'm looking for something playable on piano. I saw a few piano transcriptions of other pieces from the Great 18 Chorale Preludes, but they didn't really hit the spot. Well, maybe BWV 659.

Correct name for subsequent measure repeat? ‘%’

Does anybody know the original name for the “percentage sign” repeat, I have found that it is called in modern times ‘Repeat bar’ which although common, does not make sense because a bar is a vertical line that divides the actual measure. I have also seen it called ‘simile’ or ‘simile repeat’ but I’m not sure how correct that is either as simile as a word is also used to denote copying the technical fingering or expressive elements of the previous measures; is there an original German or Italian term?

Fugue Advice needed

Exposition of a fugue I’ve been working on. Tips on episodes, further development, modulation and all the stuff concerning fugues would be much appreciated. Is it even playable on a keyboard? Did it do the quadruple stretto correctly? Is the subject noticeable and distinct, or should I improve it? Please let me know.

C.P.E. Bach - Polonaise G-moll / G Minor - Metzler organ, Poblet, Hauptwerk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TMDeV_UmDM

This Polonaise in G minor is part of the Notenbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach, the wife of Johann Sebastian Bach. The composer is anonymous although it is also dedicated to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. A simple, but very effective piece, especially on organ I think. The organ is very capable of depicting the bold character of this piece.
