Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is any evidence to show that Bach sometimes
wanted a trill to start on the harmony note. I use for my guide the Table
of Ornaments from J.S. Bach's Clavier-Buchlein vor Wilhelm Friedemann Bach
and Harold Gleason's table in Method of Organ Playing. Both show all
trills beginning on the upper auxiliary note. Mordents have been the only
ornaments I have ever begun on the harmony note in Baroque music.
Whenever I want to check what Glenn Gould did this is always the time he left out the ornaments (for example 2 Part Invention #10). The very odd time beginning on the harmony note works out better, as in
this Invention. Any comments?
