There is no Bach Sonata in a minor. Leigh made that transcription when marimbas only went down to A. If you insist on playing the violin sonatas down an octave (another discussion entirely), then make your own transcription and at least play it in the right key. Keys sound different. There is a reason that Bach chose g rather than a to begin with.
