Wrong key attribution ⟨Canon in A minor, BWV 1073 (Bach, Johann Sebastian) [#23495]

This piece is not in a minor but in C major. I think the confusion arises from reading the melody according to the soprano clef, but that clef is for the fourth entrance of the canon. If you read according to the bass clef (1st voice in the canon) you realise that is clearly in C major. Same when you hear the whole piece, clearly major sound. (Besides, in this period a piece in a minor should have a g# for every cadence, and they are totally absent here). Is it possible to edit the title? I could not find the way to do it.
