I don't know why I am obsessing over such a minor detail, but, should I hold the B (half note) with the fermata?  And, why is the fermata hanging out over the repeat symbol vs. the last note? | ||

Hmm, so, what edition is the score? Have you compared it to other editions to see if it's written the same way? Separate from that... that is a really weird spot for a fermata!!

Bach used the Fermata to indicate a pause before starting the first variation. If there was not a fermata, it was expected that each variation would immediately follow the preceding one without a pause. | |||
