J. S. Bach’s original work is written solely for...

Proposé par Jackson Prevot
Langue de départ: Anglais

J. S. Bach’s original work is written solely for low strings (2 viola da braccio, 2
viola da gambe, violoncello and violone). We’ve attempted to reflect that by
transcribing for »low« recorders, i.e. 2 trebles, 2 tenors and bass plus a basso
continuo instrument (e.g. violoncello, bassoon or C-bass recorder).

I wonder why the names of the instruments are written in Italian.

Because so they are written in English too.

No they're not.

I don't know about viola da braccio (what is that?), but viola da gambe is written "viola", violoncello is "cello", and violone is "violin" (I think).

Here we say cello too, but both Portguese and English terms are abbreviations. Most of dictionaries shows; violoncello (abb.:cello)
Violone (big) and violin (small) are different instruments.
Violin was formerly known as a soprano "viola da braccio" (da braccio means that you play it upon your arm). It's just an old term. It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. :o
