Bach Suites edition
Which edition has the fewest markings? I have the Bahrenreiter but I don't want to play from that (a bit confusing with multiple variations of measures) and don't have it with me. I do have the 3rd Markevitch edition and am starting to get annoyed by some of the wacko bowings.

TIA

The Vandersall Edition is entirely blank. Make your own edition.

If that is too empty for you you might like to start with the reprint of the Bach-Gesellschaft Edition published by Dover. If I remember correctly it fairly closely represents the bowings in JS Bach's wife's manuscript.

There's also the most AMAZING new Baerenreiter Urtext, which not only has a revised addition of the original, but also 5 sources in facimilie and an account by the editiors. If you want to do away with anything wacko, this is about as close as you can get to perfect.

Re: Bach Suites edition
I was thinking about this problem last week and had an idea that just needs some computer genius to carry it out (and probably a lot of copyright permissions.) Anyway, how about a computer program where you get the blank scores, and then you just click on whose editing you want, and then revise that anyway you want, and print it out? Just dreaming, I know.. this isn't very realistic given all the millions of variations and the permissions problem.

Henle
There is a new Henle Edition. It contains two parts: one with markings and fingerings by Reiner Ginzel, and one part without any comments.
Have fun!

Verlag Urtext
I have both the Violin Solo Sonatas/Partitas and the Cello Suites in the Henle Verlag Edition. The fact that it has the other part with fingering/bowing suggestions makes it a lot easier to formulate your own ideas

(the only problem with the violin edition is that in the Chaconne, the broken chords are not written out, which makes it a little bit tricky!)

Having the blank canvas is rather intimidating somehow, so the suggestions (combined with those of your teacher) are helpful. Also, I don't think that the Henle costs as much(?)

The recent Mischa Maisky CDs of the bach suites contains the score edited by himself on the third disc where you can watch the notes move as Maisky plays or listen to a midi file. It also alows you to print his edition or edit your own. I didn't enjoy the CD but liked the novel idea.

Re: Bach Suites edition
I had the exact same feeling. I wasn't particularly moved by what little of the CD I did here. I really bought it for the MIDI files, printable score, etc. HOWEVER, although you can ADD whatever you want to the bow markings, etc., you CANNOT DELETE anything. So you're left with a bunch of err ah, crap, that you have to "cross out" but now with nice 14pt font red X's instead of your ol' number 2.

I'm interested to here that there is a blank edition. Maybe I'll buy that one and make it my last one! (Yeah, right.)

Re: Bach Suites edition
Is there a type set version (i.e. not hand written) of the MM* edition?

*Not like I'm being slick in just using initials, I just don't want butcher the poor woman's name.
