Misc. Notes:

This edition without slurs was edited based on Anna Magdalena Bach's manuscript. But some notes are corrected with Kellner's manuscript and with the arrangement for lute solo by J.S. Bach himself (BWV 995). Normal notation score is not an arrangement for normal-tuned cello. It is simply written in real notes.

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.
