Invention No. 3 ornamentation
on: February 09, 2010, 04:10:19 PM
I have the Schrimer edition, with notes, fingerings and clarifications of the ornaments by Christopher Taylor, which is very similar to this, with a few differences: trills added between brackets indicating that it is a suggestion not present in the original score, at bars:

11, first voice over the second B
25, first voice over the long G
28, second voice, over the long A
30, first voice, over the F#, imitating the previous one
37, first voice over the B
53, first voice over the second E, imitating bar 11
58, first voice over the E.

Looking at Bach's manuscript I get a little confused about several details:

1. The last beat in bar 4, in the manuscript is written as a dotted semiquaver and a demisemiquaver, in every edition is written as 2 semiquavers.

2. The complete lack of turns in the manuscript.

3. The trills appearing between brackets as a suggestion, when in fact the trill appears in the original score.

4. The added B at bar 46 in most editions.

What is the cause of this differences? Did Bach revisit the score?

I think because in Baroque period, composers give players to interpret ornaments as they want and they can add non harmony note if they want...

sorry my english is bad
Hope someday I'll be a good pianist ^.^
