I have a couple of editions of this piece, but they both don't include fingerings, and i've found that fingerings are crucial with Bach pieces! I could work out the fingerings myself, but it would save time if I had a copy with most of the fingerings already in place. Does anyone know where I can download a copy with as many fingerings as possible notated? Or maybe you have a copy in a book somewhere and have added fingerings yourself... would it be possible for you to scan it in?

Thanks for your help!

I have always believed that it is best to work out fingerings for youself, or even better with a teacher.

Everones hands are different, so I think a version fully fingered might not serve much of a purpose.

You definately would not want Bach's fingering as he rarely used the thumb.

Experiment and enjoy.

I agree, and usually work out the fingerings myself, however I would like to save time so a score with some fingerings already noted, as a guidline  would be helpful :)

The version I use by G. Henle (blue book) has fingerings by some dude named Hans Martin Theopold. The suggestions are good.
