Wonderful ! Thank you 🙏🏻 In measure 18, my edition does not move from C to Bb, it simply repeats the C twice as bass. Interesting!

[@composernotes]

Thank you. I have several editions. They all have B flat. Your comment prompted me to look for an edition without B flat. I found one. I cannot account for the difference, except that Bach did gather already existing individual works to create The well tempered Klavier. Perhaps the B flat is a change from an original previously written original

@@composernotes Maybe because my edition is “edited by Carl Czerny” ?

[@composernotes]

@@CatholicWisdom Yes that could be the case
