<hr><p>The title page of Ringk's manuscript writes the title of the work in Italian as Toccata con Fuga, names Johann Sebastian Bach as the composer of the piece, and indicates its <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tonality" class="extiw" title="w:tonality">tonality</a> as "ex. d. #.", which is usually seen as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/key_signature" class="extiw" title="w:key signature">key signature</a> being <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_minor" class="extiw" title="w:D minor">D minor</a>. However, in Ringk's manuscript the staves have no ♭ symbol at the key (which would be the usual way to write down a piece in D minor). In this sense, in Ringk's manuscript, the piece is written down in D <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorian_mode" class="extiw" title="w:Dorian mode">Dorian mode</a>. Another piece listed as Bach's was also known as Toccata and Fugue in D minor, and was equally entitled to the "Dorian" qualification. It was that piece, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BWV_538" class="extiw" title="w:BWV 538">BWV 538</a>, that received the "Dorian" nickname, that qualifier being effectively used to distinguish it from BWV 565. Most score editions of BWV 565 use the D minor key signature, unlike Ringk's manuscript.
