Chorale twice edit

From the linked in picture, it appears that Bach inserted the melody of "O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig", in red ink, twice. It is inserted immediately above the bass line in both choirs. In both places, the stave with the cantus firmus has been bracketed together with the bass line of the choir. My guess is that this would be most useful for continuo players. 2601:642:4680:F5:58E9:8286:E2B:DF1B (talk) 05:50, 14 April 2017 (UTC) Edward BlairReply
