This arrangement is of the first movement, often nicknamed Arioso, from Cantata BWV 156. In case you've heard another version, the sinfonia was later adapted as the middle movement (Largo) in Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in F minor, BWV 1056. I first added the melody (originally an oboe soloist) and then the basso continuo line and have kept them intact except for some changes in the octave to fit on the guitar. I then added the violin accompaniment whenever the melody was sustaining the tied quarter notes. Due to the cramped limitation of one stave, I've combined the continuo line with the accompaniment into one written voice to create a clean score. Sustain the bass and accompaniment notes as needed.
