Bach's Partita no. 1 Sarabande

I need help. In Bach's Partita 1, the Sarabande movement has unusual mordents. I haven't encountered these... They're found in the last 5 measures of the piece. Deos anyone know how these mordents are played?

I believe you are talking of the 32nd notes.  They are 8 to each beat in 3/4 time or 2 per each 16note click

Yes. I imagine quite a few people know how they're played!
