Music sheets of these two scores (original by Bach, and arrangement by Siloti with improvements by Emil Gilels) available from Score Exchange: https://www.scoreexchange.com/scores/421711.html.

Among the main changes Siloti brought to this interpretation, the roles of left and right hands have been reversed. In addition, Siloti transposed the piece in a tonality he deemed more appropriate for the piano.

Traditionally the piece is played twice, once letting the right hand lead the melody, the second time letting the chords resonate more.
