Bach Fugue in D minor BWV 851
on: January 05, 2015, 08:54:20 AM
I'm having trouble with the trill in measure 20 of this fugue. I dunno if I should play it with left hand or my right. Can anyone offer some advice in fingering and hand position?

I'm using the Henle Verlag edition of the WTC :)

Your LH.

1-2 for the trill (3, 4 and 5 being otherwise required).

I really don't see that there could be another option.
