Wonder if it will help me play it better

I'm just starting on the Bach double concerto and got a little surprise. My teacher knew Henryk Szeryng, and the two of them performed the double at a masterclass in Sienna several years ago. My teached saved the sheet music, and the part I'm learning is a photocopy of the part Szeryng played, complete with his written fingering notations and various other markings. Its a pretty good inspiration to learn it right!
