Any tips? (especially on the ornamentation etc).

Well, I personally resolve the ornaments quite similarly to Gould's 81 recording... the middle voice, though, I like to play it softer than the bass and the soprano, differently from what Gould does there - he often detaches it by giving it a somewhat brighter color with an increase in volume.
