Why does this work appear to be in D Minor when the title indicates G Minor? The short answer is that, as musical practice was settling towards tonality, some composers were still using key signatures that, by today's standards, are missing a flat. These key signatures typically arose because the composer was using a transposition of a church mode. In effect it looks like the pieces are being written in Dorian if you go by the key signature and ignore the later accidentals.

(In fact, the Bach piece here is sometimes given the nickname 'Dorian'!) But since the accidentals are there, it's just a piece in minor. The key signature takes the form it does because the Dorian and minor modes were considered very nearly synonymous by many, possibly most, Baroque theorists (including Rameau). Dorian mode was seriously considered to be the precursor to the minor mode.
