It does feel strange to play that way, especially during the 7-6 suspensions.
Maybe my ear is totally off, but I think I hear both Sigrun Richter and Anthony
Bailes play it as an upper appogiatura in their recordings. Maybe the main note
is played so quickly and softly that I missed it. I'll try it "from below" and
see what I can make of it.
Thanks
