Trio super Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend Johann Sebastian Bach probably wrote the Great Eighteen Chorales, soon after 708, when he moved toweimar. Hethen revised them, during the years 79-7 and 76-77, while he was in Leipzig, and they are sometimes known as the Eighteen Leipzig Chorales. Both versions can be seen in the Bach-Gesellschaft edition, or reprinted in the Dover edition, and they confirm Forkel s observation "comparing together many copies of his principal works, written in different years, I confess that I have often felt both surprise and delight at the means which heemployed to make, little by little, the faulty good, the good better, and the better perfect... Even commonplace passages are frequently changed into the most elegant by changing, taking away, or adding a single note." Number of the Eighteen Chorales is a io on the hymn-tune Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend, BWV 6. It fits particularly well onto flute and piano. The top two voices share the same register, and frequently cross, so they need different tone-colours. Just a few beats in bars 0 and need to be exchanged between voices; if this arrangement is being played on violin and piano the original in small notes can be played. The running semiquaver scales are Bach s characteristic motif expressing happiness, as is the quaver rhythm in the bass, for example from bar 6 to bar 7. The flute ill in bar 6 should start from below, starting with def#e. For more practical performance, a separate piano part is supplied, with a convenient page turn. The piano fingering may be disregarded with a clear conscience. Bach s SATB setting of the hymn is included.
