Hello,
I was trying to find Bach's Arioso sheet music. Sheet music plus etc...
The versions that I found all start on A second octave.
the only You Tube rendering ( only three) all start on A first octave.
They are played by beginners to intermediate advanced players, so it seems.
Where can I find the version that starts on A first octave?
And what grade is this suppose to be.
Thank you
Ronald

Bach's Arioso for both soprano and bass clarinets start on F at the top of the first register at music-sc0res.com.
Does this help ? I play it on bass and love it.

Hello,
apparently in is played in many settings.
Nothing wrong with that.
The Peter New versions starts on A second octave.
the Krantz version starts on E second octave....
The versions that I saw on YouTube definitely start on A first Octave.
I supect it is also easier for a beginner- intermediate player.

The Arioso is the opening of Bach's Cantata 156. Go to http://imslp.org/wiki/Ich_steh_mit_einem_Fu%C3%9F_im_Grabe,_BWV_156_%28Bach,_Johann_Sebastian%29 for the music. The accompaniment is simple enough that any pianist used to reading from score can do it easily, of course down a step. (Every church organist does it all the time.)
It's not hard to read down an octave. Just start on the low A and hear each interval in your ear. Most of the movement is step-wise, so you just let your fingers play the scale in the right octave. It's also a great piece to learn Bb to C transposition.

Thanks Ken,
it seems that the people playing it at a lower octave are younger students
Perhaps because it is more easily played an octave down.
Way too advance for me I am afraid.
The trouble with learning as an adult is that you can't play things that you have
enjoyed listening to for some time.
You have to start with the twinkle twinkle and other similar tunes.
No choice there.

Ok, I've got a good one on that very piece!!
First time I got Married, I picked that Cantata, which I only knew as Cantata number, and Mvt of an Organ Concerto. It was used as one of the main pieces.
Only after getting Divorced 7 years later did I see the full title name. And translation - I STAND WITH ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE....

David -
I was going to say ...
It's almost like playing Ravel's Pavane pour une Infante Defunt (Pavane for a Dead Baby) at a christening.
For my first (and so far only) wedding, I suggested an aria from Bach's Cantata 199, Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut (My Heart Swims in Blood). My wife, a music historian, squashed that one real quick. We had Sheep May Safely Graze instead. It's worked for 30 years.
