| Comments: | Multiple sources and authoritative editions were consulted, primarily Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis, Leipzig, 1950-1966. The fugue is properly performed in the French Overture style (Tovey) employing a slightly unsteady rhythm and double-dotting every long note that precedes a much shorter note.
