All you fans of Bach's unaccompanied violin sonatas, I have a question for 
you.  In the Siciliano of the g minor sonata, in the 9th bar, my edition
(Peters/Flesch) has a f sharp in the 4th note of the upper voice, but the 
bar underneath, which supposedly reflects the unedited manuscript, has an
unadulterated f.  Looking over the pages, I also notice a discrepancy in the
4th bar of the same movement; the manuscript apparently has a d natural on
the 5th beat of the bar but Flesch sees it as a c natural.  I've heard it
performed both ways by various artists.  Any musicologists out there that
want to try to influence my decision?  I popped the question on Dorothy
Delay at a master class a few years back, but she just hemmed and hawed, 
as far as I can recall.
