[edit] Performance history of suites

(After composer's death, that is...) The many recordings and concert performances of these works now contrasts somehow with their slow history of discovery- a score of the B minor suite (edited by Emil Eck) was greeted in a 1946 journal not as a long-known friend but as a newfound companion (Waller, Gilbert R. (June 1946). "Suite in B minor". Music Educators Journal 32 (6): 56. ISSN 0027-4321. ) - then there's always Mahler's Bach suite, and they were in the Bach Complete Works...- probably earlier (than Mahler's attempt to popularize this, by inclusions of etc.) performances of course of these four suites but many?
