Sayage notes, ‘the top line, typically played by the right hand on the keyboard, is in fact, complete. The left hand, however, has undergone some larger transformation. The feasibility of performance remains the driving issue behind said editing. ‘ Also includes (written by Sayage) : Discussion Regarding Bach and the Musical Invention; Note Regarding Tempo, Performance and Transcription; Notes Regarding Ornamentation ; A Brief Musical History of Bach.
