If you take the alto A,B,C D with the left hand, the B trill should be manageable with the right hand, then start alto part with right hand again with the middle C.. yes - left hand little finger will have to hop F E D.
I usually play this on 2 manuals with pedal (Bach has written the instruction "for 2 manuals & pedal"); the left hand uses a 16 ft registration, played detached, so you would need to play the other two parts with the right hand - again detached grouping the quavers into minim beats.
Yes, I've heard it played like that - does that mean taking a 4/5 trill in the right hand?
Did Bach specify 2 manuals and pedal? In my edition (Novello), it only says 'Man. Princip.8.F.' and 'Ped. Tromp.8.f'.
