Allemande in G minor, BWV 836
From the Clavier-Büchlein vor Wilhelm Friedemann Bach
This Allemande in G minor, BWV 836 by Johann Sebastian Bach is part of the Clavier-Büchlein vor Wilhelm Friedemann Bach.For your convenience, this score includes suggestions as to how to perform the ornaments (here, trills) in accordance with the performance practice of the Baroque period.
Please note also that cadential trills have been added in measures 4, 5, 10, 18 and 20, even though they do not appear in the source.
Trills at cadences were required during the Baroque period, even when the composer did not indicate them specifically.
The trills in measures 6 and 12 are authentic (they do appear in Bach's autograph).
The trill in measure 12 is called a prepared trill, in which the starting note of the trill (the upper auxiliary note) is treated as an appoggiatura.
