Hello Sterling, f#m S.L.Weiss used in one suite in Dresden, 3 Sarabandes of sonatas in A major and in 3 pieces in the Vienna 18761 ms, if the latter is S.L.Weiss at all. In e minor Weiss wrote two sarabandes (there is also one in Haslemere). In b minor there is the mentioned trio in the London ms, there is also one ensemble movement "un poco andante" of a sonata in D major and there is a suite in Wru (W2002) that is possibly not by Weiss ("W" in the ms) - it could be by Weichenberger.
I don´t know what the reason is that there are so few pieces in these keys. D major sounds very good on the baroque lute and there are many pieces in this key by Weiss, but he seems to avoid nearly the parallel minor. G major also he used very much, but it´s the same with e minor.
