@JohnThePetru your score has it wrong, I'm afraid. In Bach's time, this prelude was written for clavichord, not for a piano-forte. That means that p, mf, f, sfz etc are indications from your editor, not from Bach. In other words: everyone playing a Bach piece has to answer this for themselves "how would Bach have intended this had he known about forte and piano on a keyboard when he wrote this?".

@Misteribel Yeah, you're right, I don't even know why I was saying such nonsense. BTW I've thrown away that edition and I got a Henle Verlag Urtext edition.

Great job. Learning it now, very inspirational.

The point was more about there being many different editors and they all disagree. Mine, for instance, puts in no dynamic markings whatsoever (I have a so-called "urtext").
And: even if editors can be "right", a feeling for a piece is personal: you may just decide to do it differently, even if your "knowledge" of music is not as big as your editor's: he's not sitting in the room listening, but you are (esp when playing) ;-)

You're completely right, but if the editor (I apologize but I'm not sure how it's called in english :D) put there a "pesante" IMHO he had some reasons to do so, since i'm not a musicologist (and i suppose the editor is) I'm not arguing with his decision :D
Anyway, Bach sounds great played in all the way a man can conceive! :)
It's a Yamaha P85
