[Mandryka]

What we do know is that the earliest manuscript of the cello suites was written by Anna Magdalena Bach. And that text contains some phrasing which some scholars believe is uncharacteristic of Johan Sebastian Bach.

"Some scholars?" Please cite which scholars.

You mean the scholars who don't believe that the phrasing in the Anna Maria notebooks is by J S Bach? As far as I know only Bylsma does think it's authentic. But I'm not sure, others may know better.

Wispelwey too maybe, judging by the unusual phrasing in his third recording.
