ETA: And thank you @Klaus , I'll give it a try. But it won't be at tempo - yet.
Don't give it a try.
Too late. I did.
Anyone know a good chiropractor in the Chicago area?

The Henle Urtext indicates a 2 for the e-natural. I haven't played this work, but I'll look through my library.
Yeah, that's what my edition shows as well. My teacher has a different Henle edition - I'll have to ask her.
IOW, start the trill on F, with 3?
Yes - exactly. One always starts the trill on the note above. See the edition below by Bax.
In Bach, those trills always start on the note

The best way to play it? On Spotify while drinking a scotch and discussing what fingering your would use for the trill…

I've added a couple of new things to me practicing repertoire. One is actively recording myself. i seem to focus more effectively when knowing I'm recording myself. it's not quite like having an audience - but a step above just playing and not caring as much about those uninvited mistakes. The second thing that is easier in this day and age is playing along with a recorded performance. In a couple of instances, I caught additional errant practices on my part. I see both my own and the professional performer's efforts in a new light. I've sometimes been irritated by an emphasis that the prof has taken. Of course, I've also got some ideas - places to consider nuances that I'd missed or hadn't considered. I use my iPhone, Apple Classical and bone conduction headphones for these efforts.

I wouldn't use bone conduction with the digital. They're not as good a modestly priced over ear headphones - but they're perfect for listening to Charles Rosen playing the same Bach as I am. I can fit my good phones over my ears at the same time - and they work well with a real piano. I'm playing them at a lower volume - and seeing how in synch I am with the real performer. It is through such efforts that I strive to move from bad playing to inspired mediocrity, the highest level of performance I can hope to achieve.
