Misc. Notes Here the four known manuscript sources have been typeset and laid out in score form so that they can be easily compared with each other. The pitches are notated at their true pich (not with scordatura).We have tried to reproduce as closely as possible the ambiguities in the slur placements and shapes of the original manuscripts.

Misc. Notes Anna Magdalene Bach's manuscript of this composition is full of amateurish errors and unplayable on the cello as written. Apparently this composition was not originally written for the cello. This Arrangement attempts to rectify those problems and uses phrasings from JS Bach's version of the Lute Suite based on the same original composition to reconstruct something more celloistic and closer to some original which is unavailable to us.

Misc. Notes The title page reference to Robert Schumann is due to the fact that Schumann's arrangement used Dotzauer's edition as its source. Stade's revised arrangement incorporated features from the Dotzauer and Grützmacher editions, while the original version is mainly based on Norblin's edition from ca.1824.
