JS Bach took some works by Vivaldi and did things to them.
One of the more famous being a Vivaldi piece for four violins playing different parts. Bach transformed the violin parts into harpsichord parts.
Yes, the performance was intended for four harpsichordists onstage at one time.

Yes, it would have been worth the trip to the West Coast just to see this live.
