About 'Prelude from Suite no.1 for unaccompanied cello'

Born:
21 March 1685 , Eisenach

The Artist:
One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for organ, choir, as well as many other instruments. He spent most of his life as a church organist and a choir director. His music combines profound expression with clever musico-mathematical feats, like fugues and canons in which the same melody is played against itself in various ways.
Composed:
c. 1717-1723

I think this score is incorrect in measure 11. The second and sixth "D" notes are acutally "E" notes. So, it should go D, F(nat), E, F(nat).
