My edition of BWV 996 is here but also see the sheet music page for more of my Bach sheet music and videos. If you’re looking for a good biography of Bach I’m currently reading and highly enjoying Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician by Christoph Wolff.
Here’s the YouTube link if you want to watch the video there.
