Bach Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor, BWV 542 - Fugue - Double Reeds

I took the fugue from BWV 542 and worked it into an arrangement for double reeds (oboe, English horn, two bassoons, and contrabassoon). I gave the oboe the soprano voice, and the second bassoon and the contrabassoon the pedals; I doubled up the pedal part to give the ensemble a deeper, more organ-like sound. Mostly, the English horn took the alto and the first bassoon took the tenor, but I reassigned some parts due to the ranges of the instruments (though some of their high-range figures that I left in make me a little nervous).

However, I'm not too concerned with how I divided the music up; though comments about that are certainly welcome, I'm looking for suggestions on how to add some slurring in so that it's easier to play (i.e. so they don't have to tongue every single note).

EDIT: Wow, that MIDI sounds horrid...

Ah Bach ... the patron saint of sixteenth notes. Yet remarkably I would not be disappointed if Bach was the last thing I heard. Sounds good but some of the inner stuff gets hidden.

How I like to hear this in terms of pacing ... (crappy recording aside)

This is the same thing played at a slower pace with a great blow by blow breakdown of how bach structured this fugue ....
