J.S. Bach: Arioso from Sinfonia BWV 156 for string bass and piano (ed. Kohn)

About the Edition A thoughtfully edited version of one of the gorgeous melodies from J.S. Bach's cantatas. Suitable for the intermediate student who is venturing into thumb position. Transcribed and edited for string bass and piano by Andrew Kohn. Piano Parts in Orchestral and Solo Tuning are included.  About the Composition The first movement, a sinfonia, uses material that belonged to a “hypothetical oboe concerto” (BWV 1059). (Werner Breig, Cambridge Companion to Bach). Schulenberg notes that this movement was later arranged by Bach as the slow movement of the F minor Harpsichord Concerto. In the cantata version, the solo part is less ornamented than in the surviving harpsichord version.
