INTRODUCTORY NOTES
The publication of this work was based on a manuscript belonging to the Berlin Royal Library and bearing the date Dec. 6, 1730. A description of this is given by Spitta in his biography of Bach (vol. 11, page 842). I have compared the other important manuscripts in the Berlin Library mentioned by Spitta, also a manuscript from the Dresden Library, one from the estate of Princess Amalie bearing Kirnberger’s signature and containing corrections and fingerings, finally the old Rust manuscript dated 1757, which has been reprinted by Peters (S. 1, C. 4).
After considering the above documents there can remain no doubt as to the necessity of the essential changes in our text. In considering variants of equal importance I

ABOUT HANS BISCHOFF AND THIS EDITIONHans Bischoff (1852–1889) was a German concert pianist, chamber musician, and music educator. He studied piano with Theodor Kullak (1818–1882) and later taught piano performance and music theory at Kullak’s school, Neue Akademie der Tonkunst, in Berlin. Bischoff became a well-regarded music editor, respected for his thorough research, attention to detail, and careful consideration of source materials. His critical editions for the Steingräber publishing house include seven volumes of the keyboard works by J. S. Bach and 11 volumes of the keyboard works by Robert Schumann, as well as editions of works by Clementi, Handel, Mozart, Schubert, and Weber.
Bischoff’s footnotes and prefatory commentary have been preserved in this edition, as well as his editorial markings—suggested dynamics, metronome marks, fingering, articulations, and pedaling. Measure numbers and BWV numbers have been added. Square brackets have been used to indicate suspected missing elements from earlier Bischoff editions.

Bülow has E instead of E-flat and B instead of B-flat; however, this is not authentic.

The Bülow version is obviously arbitrary.
In the original text there is an F instead of F-sharp.
