ALAN's COMMENT: More than one guitarist has substituted the ending 
from Bach's keyboard version. It seems more convincing on guitar:

In fact, all movements of this sonata end on major chords. The only major 
weakness of the violin version is a failure to clarify this release by 
filling them out. 

JON B'S ORIGINAL COMMENT AND ENDING: 
'NOTE: The song sounds awfully weird when ended like this. It's meant 
to lead into the following movement of the sonata, the Fuga, for which 
it serves well. But if played standing alone, you might want to 
substitute this ending, or improvise your own:'
