Four of the five trills (bars 1, 10, 12 and 20) are approached in note repetition and thus commence on the upper neighbor note.
The reason why the second eighth-note in bar 3 must be regarded as the final note, thus creating an unusual overlapping of the end of the first subject statement with the beginning of the next one, lies in the particular melodic structure of the subject.
Observing the variety of note values throughout the composition one finds that these two basic values are doubtlessly predominant, and the third rhythmic unit, the tied-over quarter-note in the counter-subject, does not change the fundamentally simple rhythmic pattern.

 Note
In music, a note is either a unit of fixed pitch that has been given a name, or the graphic representation of that pitch in a notation system, and sometimes its duration, or a specific instance of either, so one can speak of "the second note of Happy Birthday" for example.
Each line or space is assigned a note name, these names are memorized by the musician and allows him or her to know at a glance the proper pitch to play on his or her instrument for each note-head marked on the page.
The remaining five notes of the chromatic scale (the fl keys on a piano keyboard) were added gradually; the first being B which was flattened in certain modess to avoid the dissonant augmented fourth interval.

This causes the notes on the eighth-note grid (the next higher resolution than sixteenth-notes) to sound slightly longer and the notes that fall in the spaces between eighth-notes to be slightly shorter.
Notes that are closer to the beat than this value -- say, within ten clocks before or after a given beat -- are not quantized, while those that are further away are corrected.
