Bach's ornaments

[carlybrock]

I'm an early intermediate learner spending a few years on Bach with a terrific teacher who helps me learn the more elaborate of Bach's ornaments as needed.  I'm working on the B minor French Suite Allemande.  As I begin to listen to slower recordings of it, I think I hear that the pianist sometimes shortens the trill part of the longer ornaments.  My teacher says this is not uncommon, and OK.  We don't have time to listen together, so I wonder if anyone hears this, or knows anything about it, or has done this in their own playing.

It's fine to shorten trills, particularly if you do not want to overwhelm something happening in another voice.

This makes so much sense to me, put that way, because I've been feeling some awkward "collisions" between voices.  Thanks
